I'm not sure what sizes you need, however, if you let the folks there at
Speed Bleeder know what year your car is, they will look it up in their
reference book and ship you the right ones. If they happen to send you the
wrong size, it's not a big deal to exchange them for the right ones. Also
I'm pretty sure they'll have the one for the clutch slave cylinder. Hope
this helps!

What sizes should I order? I have disk/drum brakes from a '67 and a 1275
ribcase (I REALLY want one on the clutch!!!)
