1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"

I still use the bench bleed kit that came with a master cylinder I bought 25 years ago. I doubt they even come with em anymore! It is 2 sets of plastic fittings and 2 rubber hoses. I just use clothes pins to hold the rubber hoses down in the fluid while I bench bleed it. I use an old glass Brownie bottle and a rubber hose down into some fluid in the bottle to bleed the wheels. It has to be kind of quiet in the garage, so you can hear when it stops bubbling after you've pumped the pedal enough. Doing it that way just pumps the air bubbles from the line down into the fluid as you pump the pedal down and up real slow while leaving the bleeder open. Blows bubbles out, and sucks fluid back in till all the air is gone from that line. I do it the normal sequence, RR, LR, RF, LF.
I've tried one of those handheld vacuum bleeder things from Northern Tool and must not be doing something right. I was ready to throw it up in the woods after about 30 minutes! :realcrazy:
Glad you're gettin some discs on ol Vixen. She should whoa down as quick as she runs now!
