Is that the white plastic thing under the master cylinder?

I think you're talking about that funny shaped thing on the inner fender to which all your brake lines run (usually called the Pressure Failure Switch & Body Assembly)...When you're bleeding your brakes, you should disconnect the wiring to the pressure failure switch & then unscrew the switch out of the body about 3 turns so it doesn't make contact inside the actuator.

My pressure fail switch is screwed into the bottom/center of the master cylinder... White plastic with a metal plunger.

Sorry, I thought he was asking about the same 78 B he mentioned in the other thread.

Oh, well if he is - I'm dead wrong! & the actuator is up inside the master cylinder...but you still disconnect the wiring & back the switch off.
