I remember that from my 72. The 77 is built into the MC on the bottom.
In bleeding you're supposed to back it out 3 turns or something, and
then bleed the front (closest) first and proceed "backwards" from what
we've always be told.
Everything worked fine. I have a little lockup on the rear right, but
I'm not concerned, as I've said, in the next couple of weeks, I'll do
the rear brakes too (new flex line and shoes, and yes Ed, copper washer
:-). We'll see what else is needed.
I'm also not too concerned with the pressure sensor. But it's just kind
of funny, the DPO(s) seeming only remedy on this car was disconnecting
or cutting wires. Backup lights, radiator fan (after market), heater fan
was cut, now this. Who knows what else. I haven't got to the radiator
fan yet, but so far, none of the proper fixes have been the least bit
hard. I guess that's why we call them DPOs.
