Enjoy Tony! I know that car runs deep with you:cool2:

Yesir' gravity is how I bleed all mine, since I do everything alone. If I feel they aren't quite good enough, I will get my helper out to pump the pedal for the last couple bubbles.
I've used pressure bleeders in past employment jobs and they are OK, but the pressure needs to be kept low, or the fluid sprays everywhere.

In other words, basically a "gravity bleed" with a little assist -
