Closing the bail by hand is a good idea. Some of the old penn's line rollers don't like braid from what I hear. I use fireline on my old 704z. That works fine and I've strayed away from trying other types of braid on old penns from just what people say. I have, although, seen many people fish power pro on older penns with no issues. I personally don't like power pro and switched to cortland master braid a couple years ago. Love the stuff, will never look back. But if you have trouble with regular braid, try the fused 20 or 30# firleine.
