I can not believe I waited this long to buy a set for my car. I need to get a second set for my other 914 too.
well, I finally know what all the fuss is about SPEED BLEEDERS. they are as awesome as everyone says and they should be on every car. if for no other reason that they have a larger hex on them and they seat in REALLY nice. I raised the rear when bleeding the rear and front vice versa. and as per rtowle I added 2 drops of food color red to fluid to be sure I bled my lines completely. I found it took about 20-30 pumps of the peddle to fully clear out all old fluid. thus you can see pinkish fluid in my reservoir. I used only one qt to do the entire car BUT bought 3 expecting to need more (DOT4). I just bled all 4 calipers and my peddle felt nice and high once done. I think I have a lingering problem in that my pads were never really bedded in properly. Attached image(s)

FYI, there's always a chance of tearing a MC seal when using the brake pedal to move fluid through the system. As an option, merely connect the tubing to the factory bleeder valve, open it and allow air bubbles to escape rise vertically in the tube (gravity bleeding). This effectively bleeds air from the system, minimizes the need for bleeding accessories and reduces the odds of replacing the MC.
