78 B-700 Brake Bleeding...
Just like it says, im about to bleed the brakes on my 78 B-700 45 passenger bus (again) 
...first time around (2 years ago) it took me 3 days and many beers to get them to work enough to drive it across town...this time i would like to do it right the first time, because, its gotta make the 1 hour drive to the land we are in the process of buying...ok, it has 2 lines running to each wheel, and if i remember right i could only get most of them pushing fluid, i think 1-3 of them never got any fluid out at all....BTW, im going to replace all the bleeder screws when i start the job.........my question is should i pump bleed them or gravity bleed them?? i was thinking about buying 2 clear jars and 2 hoses, atatching them to both bleeders on one wheel, and filling the jars up halfway with fluid, then after opening the MC, pop the bleeders open and keep the MC full while someone slowly pumps the brake...do i have to do anything to the porportioning valve or anything while bleeding this system?? any help would be great...thanks....
