I agree with either having new bleeder screws (they're called ventilation valves in PET, I think) or cleaning your old ones out before you add fluid to your system. I just tried to bleed my new-to-me '86 951 with turbo calipers (two bleeder screws on each caliper) and only found one out of eight screws was fully functional. I tried using my air compressor but that didn't work on a consistent basis. Since I had fluid in the system, I really couldn't take them all out and soak them in alcohol to clean them, so I ended buying eight replacements and switching them all out.
If the OP has a Motive Power Bleeder then he doesn't need Speedbleeders.
