What is the sequence when bleeding brakes of a 1966 Austin Healey Sprite?

I'm working on a restoration project with my dad and he forgot the sequence for when you bleed the brakes of an Austin Healey. We're looking for some help and any of it would be great. Thanks!|||I know that on all the cars I've worked on you have to start with the brakes furthest from the master cylinder. Most master cylinders are on the driver side so you'd start with the brake that is on the back right (passenger), back left (driver), front right (passenger), then front left (driver.) Hope this helps.|||Nice car! Start with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder and have the car sitting level or you may trap air in a high spot.Good luck with your restoration!|||buy a cheap pressure bleeding kit that uses air from the spare tire but do not use more than 8psi, keep the handbrake on when doing the back
