I've gravity bled a couple of 911's after a full brake system upgrade. If I recall, I placed the fluid catch above the caliper but below the level of the brake fluid reservoir. It's takes a bit more time but the results were excellent. Tap the calipers and brake lines lightly with a rubber mallet to release any trapped air bubbles.

Then I read about gravity bleeding but I am not sure I understand the part where the drain bottle attached to bleed valve is placed...is it on the ground or is it higher up?
I did install speed bleeders too so could just do old fashioned pump the brake method?
Thoughts?
