The ones on the link you posted earlier are replacements for the early 
calipers. If you have a '71, then the early ones won't fit, and the correct ones 
do have 2 bleed valves.

If the pistons are sticking, or the hoses are bad, stop and go traffic is always 
the worst, because the pads wear a tiny bit after every time you brake, 
creating a little running clearance. So more braking means more pad wear 
and more heating. You want to avoid this.

I carry all the Type 3 hose sizes, too, including some that you can't find 
anywhere else.
