Go to Kmart.
Buy $12 fish tank pump with the inlet and outlet tube, cheep nasty one, it even comes with a meter of clear plastic flex tube.
Make Coffee or obtain other beverage.
Connect the flex tube to the inlet port, no barb on this end.
Connect the other end to the bleeder nipple on the slave cylinder.
Top up Master cylinder Res.
Put the pump in an ice cream tub, remove ice cream first.
Crack the bleed nipple.
Pug in the pump, 240v and turn it on.
Drink coffee, or other beverage.
Top up Res periodically before it sucks air.
Watch tube till bubbles no longer appear.
Tighten bleeder tube nipple.
Check for clutch actuation.
Repeat if necessary.
Dispose of pump.

Dave, my simple mind needs a diagram - you've lost me.

FWIW - I used an aftermarket Tilton 7/8" MC for my LS1/T56 stock clutch setup with a bigger -4 line and the pedal feel and operation is great.

My only regret is I didnt fit an external bleed screw/line etc. I have only bled it once but it was a pain in the neck to do.

cheers

Gregg
