When you make up the line from the master cylinder to the booster, put a pigs tail loop (one turn only) in the line. This will make hook up easier and reduce stress on the flares. (Be sure to use double inverted flares.) I bleed the booster first as it is a high spot in the system. Then the wheel cylinders. I bleed the front ones first, but either way will work. You should bleed several times when installing new lines & cylinders. You will "know" when the booster is working! The stopping power will improve greatly. Just ask "Junior", he almost went through the windshield when he drove my '55! The weather is cool & fall like down here, perfect!
