Thanks to all!  Wow. Great help.
 
I will be tackling this Saturday, since mama is away on a 'girls' weekend!'  Thumbs%20Up
 
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!
