Speed Bleeder for old LAPD?
Hey guys I have the old LAPD remote clutch bleeder system before they included the speed bleeder. I want to put a speed bleeder on it but dont know the part number. I did a search but came up with nothing. Any help? I know this was talked about before but it was some time ago.

you could just drive to napa (they stock speed bleeders) pull the bleeder, go inside to match it up, install the new speed bleeder back in the car, bleed and drive off... if they don't have the bleeder in stock you just need to make sure a friend is there with you so you can bleed with the manual bleeder before trying the next store...

Pat, I have two of those at the house for our bleeders, if you want to check yours against it...feel free....I took a look at what Advance Auto had and tried to match up the threads without pulling my bleeder. Try mine first. If someone has the exact part # that would save us time.

They might not call them speed bleeders at Napa...that's a patented/copywrited term. Essentially its a bleeder valve with a one way ball check valve in it...I have bought them at Napa, Advance Auto and Autozone if I recall. The Advance/Autozone are sometimes branded with the "HELP" brand packaging but say "speed bleeder" in smaller letters on them.
