Well, I found speed bleeders at the local PepBoys so I picked some up and installed them today. Of course that didn't go uneventfuly as I had 3 calipers with 3/8 in bleeders and 1 - 5/16 bleeder requiring that I by 3 packs of 2 each. I didn't loose much fluid switching out the front ones but on the rear Girlings it made a pretty good mess. I also jacked the front of the car up pretty high and tapped on the master cylinders with a wooden handle to move any air out of them. I have a pedal now, although as Kevin2 experienced, it seems a little soft still. It may just take some time to get used to it.

Thanks for the help.

Dan
