    Haha I'll go find that kid!

    Which one of the four connectors between the BMC and ABS module do I crack open?

    and do I have to re-bleed the brakes or just the abs?

    start with the 2 off the master. if that dont do it, start hitting the other lines off the abs.

    you'll need to bleed each one 3 or 4 times easy. make sure whoever is holding the brakes holds them to the floor until you make the bolt tight again, or it will suck air back in, same goes for the calipers for the bleeders.

    doing this is as close to bench bleeding the master as can be, short of taking it off and doing it right. keep the master full too. try not to let go lower then a 1/4 full.

    then id give the calipers anther shot of bleeding as well.

    dont know if you have some vac line, but if you put the wrench on the bleeder, then a vac line on the nipple, then the line into a bottle. it makes for mess free bleeding. brake fluid takes nice fresh paint off fast.

    I don't mean to thread jack, but what exactly is needed for the FBody brake mod? Do I just need the calipers, bracket and bolts off of a certain year FBody? It's the bolt part that has me really confused.

    I got the kit off of w body store, and it was good to go, all bolts and brackets lined up perfectly
    And a 98+ fbody is what you need them off of
