Location: Ontario, Canada | Yes, Mick is right. All bleeders at the top. It is easy to install them upside down. Been there done that but don't do what I did. As we continued to get a soft pedal, I accused my wife (the pedal pusher) of not doing things correctly or when I told her. BIGGGGGG MISTAKE,

My wife does not seem to appreciate me giving her driving instruction either 
If we go anywhere, I normally jump in the drivers seat (she scares me)
She also does not read this (I hope)

| thanks , ahhh $$$$!!!++++ , after reeding every soft pedal, low brake pedal , wont bleed after hours and hours of bleeding threads, i wonder how many others have done this and are not aware of this easy mistake, then both cars are on wrong , i used the decent brake pedal car for reference, no big deal, i love fixing these forward look cars, even if i have to fix stuff 5 times, love them |

| so having bleeder screws on ass backwards would prevent me from getting a firm pedal. my 61 plymouth with bleeder screws on ass backward had a very good pedal at least i thought it was good until now, live and learn thanks again |

Location: Perth Australia | If your lucky, you will get any trapped air out with them om upside down (your 61 sounds that way).
I think (from memory) I drip bled my dodge ones from the bottom (front) cylinders before I properly bled them to get everything filled with fluid first

| well after further review the top wheel cylinders were on correct, but the lower wheel cylinders are wrong, oposite, so i left as is , i rebuilt the MC and bleed the brakes, pritty good pedal , ill know better tomorrow after a ride and another shoe ajustment, why hasnt anyone come out with a CAP for the suicide MC, so u could easily presure bleed them , i think there would be plenty of buyers $$$, also some one should start taking the rear drum hubs apart and sell the hubs so u could use the later drums and avoid the hassel involved with the removal process and possible damage to the tapered threads , again im sure many would change over and buy them $$ i cant, i dont have the time or the skill thanks again |
