You're pressurizing the master cylinder and forcing the fluid out of the overflow. take a vise grip and clamp it off right behind the master cylinder reservoir (IIRC).

Another thing to love about the '95 cars... I think they got rid of the overflow in mid '96.

My early '95 has no overflow tube, no SAI, no IMMOBILIZER. What a sweetheart of a car!
