Thanks to all! Wow. Great help.
I will be tackling this Saturday, since mama is away on a 'girls' weekend!' 

The threads on the bleeder are fine, but the machined portion at the end of the bleeder where the camfer is, is gouged. I tried multiple bleeders with the same result. My guess is that because the hole is so small, I will end up buying a new caliper. I could deal with the caliper bore, but that isn't the problem. Been flushing it with brake fluid antifreeze.
Also fabricating a hard fuel line to the carb using an 85 vette filter (with o-rings). The design is from Lars in CO. Ought to look pretty cool when done.
By the way, I've got a case of the C4 fuel filters if anyone needs one or two. I'd them for $5 each plus shipping. Dealer wants $16 a piece. I think the # is GF481.
Thanks all!
