Both the Tilton and Quartermaster (perhaps the Howe) have two openings
for fluid one is a bleeder which I always run a 12-18 inch line out of
the bellhousing with the bleeder fitting hanging outside (easier
bleeding).
I usually know when I run enough fluid through the system to be sure of
no air. Best way to be sure is to use a bleed bottle with a hose so you
can see if any bubbles are coming out.
(theoretically, you should purge both clutch and brake fluid(s) out of
the system each year, even just sitting on the shelf, good racing fluid
goes bad)

Subject: RE: Clutches
Grib, is there any particular trick or tip to bleeding the air out of
the Tilton hydraulic TO rather than just bleeding and bleeding until you
think(hope) you musta got it all out? Any little bubbles left in there
are compressible and reduce "efficiency and effectiveness". Bill
