Brake Bleeding

[wxman1]

Well...day 3 of the brake re-work. I found a couple
of major air leaks in the system. One around the
connection of the rear lines to the old beat up
proportioning valve that I managed to
scrounge from a local 67-72 chevy supplier.
I tightened it as much as I dared and it still won't
completely stop leaking. I guess thats
what I get for trying to use chain store parts
with old beat up parts.

So...I bit the bullet and ordered a complete
set of replacement lines from Inline Tube
and a new proportioning valve from GMC
Paul.

Sometimes cobbling parts together works fine
and sometimes not. I think this is one of the "nots".

One valuable lesson I've learned from all
this is "the theory of bleeding brake lines
doesn't quite match the practice"

Appreciate all the advice.
