These cars can be a pig to bleed. I read somewhere that bleeding these cars is better achieved with the front elevated on ramps, and this helped in my case.
Another old-sweat's trick: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... pump rapidly on the pedal for 10 secs to atomise air into thousands of minute bubbles, these bleed more easily than one or two stubborn air-pockets. It can take 5 minutes for air to return to contiguous pockets.
Rinse & Repeat.
Pressure-bleeders are best for most jobs, but if it's really stubborn follow with vacuum, using a MityVac or similar. If that fails, feed-up using the Mityvac's reverse funtion. ie put fluid in at the nipple end, and push the air up - the way it wants to go naturally - into the reservoir.
But make sure there's no cr*p in the nipples or you'll soon be cryin' in your beer.
