The problem with the "pump the pedal" system is that on older cars your
master cylinder piston and seals will be contacting a part of the
cylinder that has not been used in a long time and that usually damages
the seals.  The cylinder starts to leak in a few days to months.  "Pump
the pedal" is OK if you are rebuilding the system, but once you use a
power or vacuum method you won't go back.
