[Spridgets] Mighty vac bleeding

[Rick Fisk]

Just a small nit guys,  but a couple of you have mentioned the brake "proportioning valve".  No proportioning valve on a Spridget.  The device you're refering to is the PDWA - Pressure Differential Warning  Assembly.  It simply turns on a light to tell you if the pressure is different between your front and rear brakes, no proportioning.

Linda's car does not have one, so ignore all of this Linda.   :-)

Now ever so slightly crack the bleeder screw and watch the gauge on the mighty vav!   Just before it reads ZERO shut the bleeder screw.

> When bleeding a car without a proportioning valve start with the wheel FARTHEST from the master cylinder and work your way forward .  if it has a proportionong valve the same rule applies but you only do front as 1 circuit and then the front as 1 circuit and if the proportioning valve goes off center...recenter it.
