  a guy in the Singer club a few years ago got a new master and wheel 
cylinders and could not get it to bleed properly, either by old 
fashioned pumping or by a vacuum bleeder.  He talked to our parts guy 
who is a mechanic for a living and his answer was, pressure bleeder 
is the only way on new systems.  He said he used vacuum systems at 
the shop because they are so easy and mess free but when he put in 
new masters he always used the pressure bleeder.

   I got a pressure bleeder and it really worked well at taking the 
paint off, it would not seal very well at the master and spewed fluid 
everywhere.  Got a vacuum bleeder for xmas, no more mess.
