...These are simple cars with simple brake systems - even the last ones
with
dual systems.  No such thing as bench bleeding back then, and we all
did
just fine.  Just bleed it conventionally (and carefully) and you'll
have a
safe and reliable braking system.B

I've never bench-bled a single-circuit master cylinder system, although
I've tried it on a dual-circuit Spitfire system, where it did seem to
speed the process slightly. But I've done those before without bench
bleeding as well.

OTOH, I replaced the dual master cylinder on my daughter's Mazda
Pickup. The cylinder came with instructions for bench bleeding as well
as plastic fittings and hoses to enable that process. I followed the
instructions, then carefully and quickly swapped in the new
cylinder...and didn't even have to bleed the rest of the system. Cool.
