No, you jack up the front to make the master cylinder sit level.
2 pumps on the pedal and the fluid is lower then the pipe on the master.
This is MOST of the clutch bleed problems on Spridgets, running out of
fluid due to the angle of the can.
20 PSI of air forced thru a small hole in the master cap (or suitable
replacment cap) will bleed the system.
Do not try this on a good paint job with out lots of rags over fenders.
