Not coming up with much in a search. I want to flush and bleed my brake system ('66 122), but notice that the pressure bleeder in the IPD catalog can't be used with cast resevior single master cylinder won't work. Is this becuase of something inherent in the design of that cylinder? I usually do work on my car by myself and the two man/pump the pedal method is a pain. What about the bleeders that suck the fluid to the calipers- can those be used? Is upgrading the brakes to a two-circiut cylinder/system a worthwhile option (and what other components are needed for that)? My girlfriend will be driving this car too, so for piece of mind I want the brakes to be as good as they can be (and I am checking all the pads, shoes, lines, etc. too.... brakes pulse ever so sligtly, so maybe a slight warp in a disk....).
Thanks!
