Sterling: Can I ask why you are giving up on the pressure bleeder? The problem I have with the vacuum bleeder is that when you open the bleeder valve on the brake cylinder, and pull vacuum, you always get air bubbles even when it is bled out because air goes past the threads of the bleed valve. You don't have that problem with a pressure bleeder.
I use a the motive products and built an adapter. The Raybestos MC-544 master cylinder cap has threads that are 3/4-18. Go to a hydraulic shop and ask for a "Dash -8 Inverted flare nut". That fits the top of the Master cylinder. Take that and with a male pipe tap that is 1/4" thread the inside and then put a air hose connector on it that has 1/4" NPT threads. Shoot me an email and I can send you a picture.
