Re: IML: bleeding disks

["Steve B." <Imperial59@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm bleeding my disks on my 67.  With the engine running, the pedal of 
course goes to the floor until we start the bleeding process.  When I 
push the pedal to the floor, there is a slight change in how the car 
runs.  Does this automatically mean that the booster is bad?  Should the 
engine have absolutely NO change when the brakes are applied? Is it bad 
to bleed the brakes while the engine is running?(I'm taking advantage of 
the power brakes to pump them).

Chris:
   The car is not supposed to be running when you bleed the brakes.  
The change in engine idle would be expected if you were trying to bleed 
with the engine running.
                 Steve B.
