Don, Just had to go through his process myself on my 71. The old fashioned way is the only method that really works. If you are getting no pedal then the trick is to use the power bleeder to build pressure in the system. Say about 20psi. This will get the brake system the pressure it needs for the pedal to start working since the air is not allowing pressure to build the oild fashioned way. Then go around to each caliper starting with the closest and bleed the old fashioned way, with the PB still in place. Do this more then several times per cylinder and keep the pressure in the PB up. Once you get pedal, start removing PSI from the PB in 5PSI increments while going around to the calipers again bleeding the old fashioned way. Took Ingo, my freind Lara and myself about 45 minutes doing it this way. One on the pedal, one at the caliper being bled and one for the PB. Came across this purely method by accident when trying to remove air from my brakes.
Good luck,
Dan
