StreetShark, thats a great link you posted, wish I had seen that long ago, sure would have saved alot of work. Off to the workshop to build me one of those gizmos.

I sit corrected - both the Chilton's and Haynes manuals list the sequence as:
1) left rear - inside bleeder first then outside;
2) right rear - inside bleeder first then outside;
3) left front;
4) right front
Interesting that both manuals happen to have that info on page 9-9. 

btw - a cheapo cooking baster found at the grocery store works great for sucking old fluid from the master cylinder. 

That pressure bleeder article is "the bomb". I spent 4 hours with a crappy MityVac pump and never could get shed of the air bubbles. I think it sucks air in around the bleeder valve threads. I coulda built a pressure bleeder in less time than that and gottten 'er done much better. I ended up caling a buddy to pump the pedal and did it the old-fashioned way.....
