Re: What do you guys use?
I never use the brake pedal when bleeding brakes on all my vehicles including early Ford. What I do is really simple. I use air above the brake fluid in the reservoir to move the fluid once the bleeder is open. The air pressure is no more than 5 pounds. I modify the filler cap so i can add a fitting which is then connected to an air regulator. Some air is always escaping from the master cylinder however there's still plenty to move the fluid once the wheel cylinder bleeder is open. When doing this I always start at the furthest bleeder from the master {rear} ending up at the front. Works perfectly every time.
