Didnt want to jump on someone elses thread so I figured I would post the question I have looked through my summit book and cant seem to find the power bleeder mentioned earlier. Thanks in advance

Thanks Bill I am installing all new brake lines on my 68 and will need this tool soon!:yes:

your welcome very much:D

I have the motive bleeder 4 QT http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=MVP%2D0350&N=700+%2D108540+115&autoview=sku

Why 4 QT you ask. Well so did I but I was told to spend the little extra for it and I am glad I did!! The amount of fluid it takes to get all the air out of a new system is amazing but I got it done and my brakes worked very well. The extra money saved hours of flustration trying to get the job done with a 2 QT system, I was able to keep pressure on the system the entire time and not refill!! I bought a new one to use on my Camaro when I do the brakes and lines on it in a few months. I gave to old one to a friend.

I highly recomend that you clean it after every use with brake cleaner, if you don't the fluid will degrade the parts and they will not last. My last one was not a motive but I had for years and loaned it out many times.

Also, I might add, if you go with the Motive Power Bleeder, be advised that the chain and hook setup, supplied with the kit, and secures the adapter to the master cylinder, is terrible!.....I couldn't get it to seal so I secured the adapter to the master with a 6" C-Clamp which worked excellent!....Your best working/holding pressure will be around 10 psi, anything higher, such as 15 psi, will force brake fluid out of the rear of the master cylinder!

I should have added the C clamp....badbird is totaly right on this!!

I just installed a new MC, front calipers and new front brake lines.... The power bleeder is the only way to go. I had been trying to bleed the brakes as typically pumping the pedal and could not get all the air out. I used a KD Tools Power Bleeder from a friend. It uses compressed air in the tank with 15psi pressure. I had to purchase an adapter plate to fit my 68. It worked great... and it took less than ten minutes to bleed the brakes. They work fine now and I am driving my 68. I included a picture of the adapter in my profile for reference. I used the chains that were included, as I did not have a 6" C clamp. They worked fine. the gasket on the adapter is about 1/4" thick, so plenty of material to compress.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Guys I just got my 4 quart power bleeder from summit today!
:yes: Still need to finish brake line install ( have another post about that ) but will let everyone know how it goes. Thanks again. Shane

Power bleeder worked great on the rear lines ( had to use c clamp to seal like everone talked about ) but when I got to the front I could not get fluid air anything out. I got it up to 17 PSI still nothing but was afraid to go any higher. I decided to try pumping the brakes and when I did I got fluid and bled the front the old fashion way. Has anyone else had this happen? Is this normal? Thanks guys for all of the advice on the power bleeder it worked great!

THe bleeder might have set the check valve into the fronts and was blocking them. The check valve keeps fluid from going to an area where there might be line damage or a heavy leak. When you pshed on the brakes it might have set it back so the fronts would bleed.
