I think it takes positive pressure to get all the air out of the master cylinder
Is there someone who can pump the pedal and bleed the system the old fashioned way with you?

Subject: [DeTomaso] brake bleeding
This afternoon I decided to replace the brake hoses on the Mangusta. I removed
the left rear hose and plugged the hard line with a nylon stopper while I went
to the workbench to disconnect the old hose from the banjo bolt. While I was
doing that the nylon stopper fell out and the rear circuit reservoir pretty much
drained out by the time I got back to the car. Can I just go ahead and top up
the reservoir and bleed the brakes with my Mighty Vac or should I pull the
master cylinder and bench bleed it? I'm not getting any gravity flow from the
bleed screws, so I'm afraid there may be an air bubble in the master.
