anyone out there have any experiance with this? I haven't done it before, and my tech book seems to have the power steering connected to the brakes, which is unfamilar to me. What do I have to do differently than a typical brake bleeding?

thanks

Not for your exact year but some good general info on bleeding and fluid selection: http://www.bullittarchive.com/html/modules/articles/article.php?id=68

You shouldn't even have to touch the power steering. Use the site that Kilgore just posted for good directions. The only thing I would do different is bleed the master cylinder first for good measure. You should have 2 bleeders on the MC; do the one closest to the firewall first, then the other one, then go to the wheels in the order of PS rear, DS rear, PS front, DS front.

When I bled my brakes on my cobra I had to bleed the master cylinder too.

I never ran into that with my GT (non-abs)
