87 clutch bleeder, dumb question
Trying to bleed the lines on the clutch on my 87 F-150, and I don't know if the bleeder screw is stripped or I just don't have the right size, does anyone know what size (allen or T-?) the screw takes?

It shouldn't be either. It should take a 5/16" 6-point wrench. Do you have an internal (concentric) or external slave?

The bleed screw is barely visible in this pic: it's straight L of center - the bright chrome thing sticking up near the line fitting on the front of the slave.
