[Spridgets] Mighty vac bleeding

[Allen Hefner]

Of course you are correct, Rick. Pressure Differential warning whatever is
just too much to type! I know I had one in my '77 Midget and I actually
tried to figure it out.

My point for the post was to make sure Linda has everything she needs to do
a first rate brake job.
