Pressure Bleeding Sequence
I am going to bleed the brakes on my '65 tomorrow using ahomemade pressure bleeder. Stupid question - is the bleed sequence the same as you would use by other methods? From furthest to nearest....to the master cylinder?
Many thanks

As long as you are at it why not replace all the old stuff with fresh fluid. I have heard that as fluid gets ols it absorbs water.

The sequence is not critical. The LF is the shortest path out for the old fluid and any air between the m/c and junction block.
Siphon all the old fluid out of the cylinder first, and use additionaj fluid or denatured alcohol to clean out any debris then siphon that out. Once the m/c is squeaky clean, fill with fresh fluid and bleed away.
Bleeding a quart of fluid through should ensure all the old fluid is purges. Go around the car at least twice.
