Anyone tried to make a custom LT1 clutch line bleeder?

I'd like to get one made to make bleeding a lot easier. Would be a good maintenance item to perform at the beginning of the race season.

I'm thinking to put a "T" fitting at the slave cylinder. One leg of the T goes to the slave, one leg goes to the MC and the last leg is the bleeder line.

May have to take off the factory one and bring it to a hydraulic fitting shop to see what I can piece together.

Instead of the dark fitting being 90*, make it a "T" fitting



Speedway makes a fitting for -3AN lines:

I can see that being helpful with auto-x or road racing, but I really don't think there's enough stress on the fluid if just drag racing. JMO

Car is either DD or autocrossing. I don't care much for straight lines lol.

Everything I'm doing is to the car is to make it stand up to autocross or future road racing.

The more I dig, it seems like I'll have to devise something. I haven't found anyone doing this yet.

you should be able to find a brass T to rig it up as you describe....but IDK if in the position that T would be in would allow bleeding for the slave so much. Maybe if you unbolted the slave to let it hang down.

Having bench bleed and done MC & slave replacements on my LT1 I certainly agree that a more "user friendly" way of doing this would be of benefit

So go for the Beta system and see how well it works.

Even if it does not bleed the slave itself, it would get 95% of the fluid out without having to unbolt anything. I'm more than OK with that.

This isn't high on my priority list right now, but it is something I may address this winter.
