Default 79 SC brake bleed

Morning, just got my Powerbleeder from paragon and Im switching to ATE Blue. Instructions for Powerbleeder say to keep pressure at "recommended" pressure and bleed in "recomended" sequence. Any idea of what pressure i keep it at and if i need a proper sequence? I was going to do back pax side, back driver side, front pax side, front driver side. Good? thanks all!

I start withe the furthest wheel from the MC, and work back. This would be the passenger rear, followed by the drivers rear, passenger front and drivers front in that order. My thinking is, I get the majority of the fluid exchanged with the first wheel, and tidy up with the rest.

A useful accessory is a turky baster to pull the old fluid out of the reservoir. Don't tell you wife, though.

Order is correct. I bleed at about 15 - 18 psi too. Just don't exceed 20 and you'll be fine.

Just in case you're unaware ... you should clamp off your reservoir overflow tube before applying the pressure. I use a small pair of flat-nosed Vise-Grips, but there are other clamps that'll work just fine.
