Metric bleeder valves?
I have a 1972 K20 (stock front wheel disc setup) and was replacing the MC and one of the bleeder valves got messed up when I was breaking it loose on the passenger front corner. Went to buy a new one and the threads are metric. Anyone have any ideas on this? I assume after market calipers were installed at some point, but any info on what to ask for to get a new valve? I got one, but it didn't work.

Try NAPA. NAPA is usually better than 'almost like a parts house' like Advance Auto, Autozone etc.

Re: Metric bleeder valves?
I know it's M8x1 size, but no one at 2 different Napa stores knows. Was trying to post on the later model page to see if anyone had a part number or idea what to ask for but apparently I can't do that... I had a generic bleeder that threaded in, but the seat was not correct because it didn't seal off the fluid.
