    I have Strange single piston front calipers and Strange dual calipers in the rear. I also have a Strange Master Cylinder that is mounted beside the driver. My question is this. In what order should they be bled and which line should be where? In other words is the rear brakes near the brake cylinder rod or is that the front? My fronts are dragging a little and I have no residual valves in the car at all.

    you need to adjust the push rod to get a slight drag on the front brakes. I bleed the master first, then start at the wheel fartherest from the master, then hit the high point vent at the top of my pressure guage in the dash. hope this helps.

    I would recommend a vacumn bleeder. Depending on placement of the bleeder screw you may need to pull the calipers. Put a piece of wood in place of the rotor and bleed with the bleeder screw up. Race calipers are not built with the bleeder in the right position. you don't say if it is dual side by side m/cyl pistons but the rear brakes should apply first. the small rod connected to the lever should be adjusted accordingly. Single piston m/cyl should have first piston to the handle connected to the rear calipers. hence applying first.
