I have a 55 convertible that I can't get brake fluid through the system. What is the procedure for blessing the brakes? Ian B

Use both hands, and pray. ;)

Bruce, you can be nasty! Obviously, blessing and bleeding are not the same.
Ian, do you have the shop manual? the procedure is well explained. It could be also that your master cylinder is no good anymore. I had the same problem on a friend's 1955 car, unfortunately, I don't remember the cause.

Could the bleeder screws be plugged up?
