I use that overflow line from the master cylinder as the source to apply pressure from my home made pressure bleeder.

Like Kent, I pressure the reservoir through the overflow nipple. You do have to keep an eye on the reservoir level so no air goes into the system. I set the regulator for 5-10 PSIG and get good flow through the caliper. At the wheel, attach a hose to the caliper bleeder, route it upward for a few inches and then down to a catch can. That provides a liquid-filled section where you can see any bubbles and check the color of the fluid.
Pressuring the fluid gets it moving faster and does a better job of sweeping air bubbles from the system.
I bleed the brakes after every track event and this saves time and brake fluid.
