I'm a little confused by the Haynes manual's instructions on bleeding 
the brakes on my 79 B.  The main set of instructions say to start 
with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder and work back to the 
closest.  But in the section about those cars equipped with the brake 
pressure switch in the master cylinder (as mine is), it says to start 
with the wheel closest to the master cylinder.  Which one is correct?

Also, I've found that if I loosen the pressure switch 3.5 turns as 
advised, I end up with a lot of fluid leaking from there while doing 
the bleeding process.  Is this normal?
