Newb brake fluid question
Self taught mechanic of the most basic order, and now I've got a '77 F150 4wd 351M to work on.
'77 manual calls for "Heavy Duty Ford Spec ESA-M6C25-A" brake fluid. I don't know if this is considered performance fluid, but I've heard some of that stuff is more hygroscopic than regular brake fluid.
Is this one of those "just put Dot 3 in it and it's fine," or do I have to find this stuff somewhere?
Also, I assume bleeding is the usual bench bleed the master and work farthest wheel to nearest?
Thanks in advance.
