where to buy a clutch bleeder valve..... i already have the line run from the previous owner but it doesnt have the 1 way valve on the end.....it has a valve that you have to keep opening and closing.
where can i find a 1 way bleeder valve to put on the end like the ones that come on the Tick bleeders?
I want to just be able to cut off the old valve and put the new one on.
this is what i have....

what i have now is a POS to use....
once you crack the valve it lets air in and out.
They make a bleeder valve that once you crack it open it will allow air out but nothing in...makes it so much easier to bleed my clutch.
its what Tick uses for their 1 man bleeder lines.....

You don't need a speed bleeder to get all the air out.
Run a hose from that to an empty jar on the ground (through the engine bay, not over the painted fender! ) and pour new fluid into the reservoir to keep it filled to get all clean fluid in. (or bleed it however you prefer as long as it results in a system of new clean fluid)
Then, have a helper hold the barely cracked open end of that extended bleeder pointed down and submerged in your clutch fluid reservoir that's bolted to the brake booster.
While they're holding that end in the reservoir, gently fully depress the pedal every several seconds for a few minutes.
Close the bleeder.
Done.

so crack it open, put a hose on it, run the hose into a jar (full or empty???) of brake fluid?
then as someone holds the end in the jar......push the clutch pedal slowing to the floor and pull it back up with my foot? ...a few times??
it will blow air out but suck fluid in? is that the whole idea?

Jeg's or Summit sells the one way bleeder valves you are looking for, they are made by Russell, but there are quite a few different sizes, I bought my speed bleeder line with one already installed it was like $10.00 more for the better line, and they work great, I had my clutch bled in about 3 minutes by myself.
