Bleeding 69 Brakes
I'm trying to bleed the brakes on my 69. I have new SS calipers from VBP and is trying to flush the line out with new brake fluid before installing the new calipers. There are 2 bleeder valve. Am I to bleed both valve ( one at a time of course ) Its funny, when I had my wife pump the brakes to bleed it, I get a strong gush, but after a little bit it's like barely a trickle out of the same valve i'm bleeding. Am I doing it wrong. Help.

I opened both bleeders on each wheel (rear) and let the brake fluid gravity bleed until I saw it dripping from the bleeders. Once there is a decent stream, shut the bleeder than do the other. I started with my right rear first, left rear second, front right third and front left last.
Once they were all gravity bled, I bled them by pumping the brakes (5) times and opening each bleeder one at a time. Start with the inner bleeder first.
Good luck,
Dino
