Default Brake bleeding questiion

Hi,
Looking to gravity bleed the brakes on my 78 Pace Car with power brakes and wanted to know if I have to have the car running or have to disconnect the vacuum hose from the booster with it not running?

No, just leave the cap off the master cylinder and keep checking it. DO NOT LET IT GO DRY!

Thanks Mike
At a quick look the calipers seem to have two or three bleeder screws do I do all of them and is there any particular order

Yes you start with the caliper and bleeder screw the furthest from the MC then work your way back to the closest to the MC. Bleed all 6 bleeders.

I bought this kit several years ago, used it many times. Works great on hydraulic clutch systems too. Makes it much easier so you don't have to keep getting up to check and refill the master cylinder. Worth it.
