80-Vette

I had a similar issue with my car. I bought my car from a guy that had it stored in a garage for 20 years. The car still had the original untouched calipers so I figured the calipers were due for a rebuild. When I took them apart they were so corroded that they needed to be sleeved. Rather than going through all of that I got 4 new calipers and brake pads from Autozone.

Before installing the calipers I replaced all the bleeders with speed bleeders. After putting the new calipers in I was able to bleed all 4 wheels by pressing the pedal. Within a few minutes my brakes were perfect.

Since I have only seen a motive bleeder on utube, how is it that you hook it up to these old style master cylinders such as ours, just in case I decide to try on on my brakes when all this trailing edge stuff is finished. Does it come with a top that matches our MC caps? Thanks.

Yes it does. Just make sure you cinch it down tight to avoid leaks.
