Brake pedal went to the floor.

Hi,

Got in 69 Spider saturday morning, stepped on the brake and no resistance.
This is a single booster setup, not dual was converted.

Don't see a lot of brake fluid anywhere.

So first step is try bleeding the brakes?


Brake reservoir has one cap on front, looks like its (chamber) divided, I'm thinking that the back chamber is low or empty, can't really tell, fluid is clear (synthetic?).

Front Chamber goes to front brakes, rear goes to rear?

Tried using a vacum bleeder, got very little fluid out, started at right rear.
Haven't gone beyond that.

Questions:

If the front chambers full (resevoir), back is also??

I've read these can be a b**** to bleed, but usual rr,lr,rf, lf bleeding sequence??

Help
George
