Speed bleeder, which size?

Jegs lists speed bleeders in many different sizes. Anybody know which size fits a 92 vette?

They were able to look them up at Autozone down here in Fl. They were the cheapest at $10 per pair too.

Here you go, Nathan.

You want part # SB1010

Incidentally, I don't think the speed bleeders sold in Auto Zone are as good as the original Speed Bleeders on that website. I bought a brand new set from Autozone last brake flush/bleed, and one leaked like crazy.

SB1010 is the right one for C4's. You should get the kit with the hose and bleeding bag as it helps with bleeding at the track. You don't have to carry a bottle or can with you. Also get the small bottle of thread sealant at the same time. The sealant should be replaced after you open and close the bleeders a number of times. https://www.speedbleeder.com/install.htm

There are a number of bleeders on the market that work in the same fashion. Russell sells them. Speed Bleeder is a trademarked name and the design is patented so just because you see "speedbleeder" in a catalog, it doesn't mean that you are getting them from the company called Speed Bleeder Products.
