We used to leave stubborn MGBs overnight and they'd bleed out the bubble on their own, but it doesn't work on the SAAB systems with the vertical master cylinder. They get a bubble trapped at the high point in the tube above the master.
I made a cap with a tire valve in it to use for pressure bleeding the system. Works like a charm. Use a bicycle pump as you only need positive pressure on top of the reservoir fluid, not high pressure like you'd get from an air compressor. Pump a little air into the reservoir and open the bleeder. Keep pumping as long as the bleeder is open.
