In case you want to go with the speed bleeders - from 311s.org:
Speed bleeders replace the existing bleeders. They have a one way valve
built in them which makes bleeding brakes a breeze. They are 3/8" x 24 TPI
thread. Speedbleeders part number is SB3824 for both front and rear. You can
visit their website to read more or order them by clicking here! There is
one gotcha though. On the front brakes there is a small ball bearing that
must be removed in order for the speed bleeder to fit properly. Use a small
magnet to remove the ball bearing and you should be good to go.
Cheers.
Pete

Do you have the BB in there? If so, I bet I bet I bet the BB is corroded and
no longer perfectly smooth. Any corrosion in there, on the BB or on the seat
that's part of the cylinder body, and you won't achieve a seal.
There's a speed bleeder that will replace the bleed screw, if that really
truly is the problem.
But it's that corroded BB.
Hint: To get the BB out, take a steel nail and a magnet. Place the magnet on
the nail. That makes the nail magnetic. Now use the nail to poke into the
hole and attract the BB. Lift out gently.

I have a 1966 1600 - SPL311. My front bleed screw on my brakes are leaking
and they are tightened down. No parts store in town carries them. Does
anyone know of a cross over part that would work? The TR4 came close bu was
about 1/8" to long. I can order them online but would rather get it done
today if I could.
