I gravity bled each wheel in turn when I rebuilt the brakes on my 54 3100. I used a new master cylinder, new lines and wheel cylinders that I had rebuilt. Opened the left rear first and watched for fluid while I did something else. Took about 10 minutes for fluid to come out and I closed off the nipple and opened the other rear cylinder. Only took a few minutes for that one to drip. Again on the front cylinders, longer line first. Kept the reservoir full throughout the process. Had full firm pedal without any squishiness. Never did have to bleed individual cylinders and I still have full pedal and stopping power two years and 4000 miles later.
