Does the power brake bleeder do anything different than having someone inside the car pushing the clutch in to build up pressure? I did the 2 man procedure but the bleed nipple is on the bottom of the slave and I think because of this there are still air bubbles in the system.

I had someone else ask about this recently. I think the bleed nipple needs to be on the top - it may be installed upside down in your car. I would remove it and check to see if it can be flipped around. As for bleeding, the two-man system is just as good, if not better than the power bleeder. I actually recommend bleeding with the power bleeder first, and then performing the two-man routine afterward.
