You wear huge underwear?  I don't think we all needed to know that much 
detail...

That first update in the link Mitch posted is very much worth the
little extra effort.  For the Speedibleed that portion of the cap into
which the coupling threads is deep enough to accept a piece of that
threaded pipe commonly used for mounting light fixtures, which is a
perfect fit.

I believe you can get an aftermarket cap at Mcparts, probably Help! brand.

Here it is: You can use a late model GM master cylinder cap (Help! p/n 42035).

[MBZ] Pressure Bleeding.

[Peter Arnold]

Found most of the parts to make a pressure bleeder, I've got $20 into
it.
Trouble finding a master Cylinder cap, guess I'll try a dealer
tomorrow.
If I understand correctly, I will simply pressurize The reservoir with
about 20 PSI, I have no gage.  Than bleed furthest to the closest.

I have 2 pints of #4 brake fluid coming.  I'll use a can of #3 to
flush the parts while cleaning.

I'm also changing shocks.  Car is jacked up with front wheels off.  I
have to put another jack/support to hold the lower A frame while
removing shock as the shock acts as a stop for suspension travel.  Is
this correct?

Going to be a fun weekend
