Another issue on this 85 C10 Suburban cropped up while replacing the fuel pump (the original problem). While replacing the fuel pump the proportioning valve started weeping, all by itself. You know how it goes, bring a neglected vehicle in to work on one problem and another pops-up.

Found a replacement valve (not easy anymore) but I have one question about bleeding the system after replacement... is there a tool to keep the internal valve from moving while bleeding or should I just use a pressure bleeder on the M/C and open the wheel bleeders? It's been a while since I've done one.
