Brake Bleeding Kits

We put a four wheel disc conversion kit on the 68 Camaro. I bench bled the master, and installed all new brake lines. The entire systems is new. I'm having trouble getting all the air out of the remaining system.

I put pans under all calipers, cracked the bleeders and let it sit for a bit. This was to try and allow the system to self purge since I wasn't in a hurry. After, we did the pump hold, open close etc, but still cant get all the air out.

I'm looking to buy a one man brake bleeding kit.

What Kit do you all suggest?
 
Mighty Vac is a good one and most parts stores carry them, I've also used mine for checking vacuum but it seems to flutter for that but worked great bleeding my 4 whl disc conv by myself
 
Mityvac and start bleeding at the longest distance and work your way back.

Just keep an eye on the reservoir because it'll empty quick. Fill up one container doing the vacuum bleed, add more brake fluid, continue on.

I will usually go through an entire container (quart size) when doing all new (as I am right now on the Starfire).

 
I'm a big fan of speed bleeders. I normally use them, then exchange them back to oem and keep them on the shelf for another use.
