I think that bench bleeding is just for the dual cylinder master cylinders.

List,

There has been a lot of discussion about brake bleeding.  The need to
bench
bleed came up.  I just installed a new master and slave kit on my clutch
but
after quite a bit of bleeding it is still grinding more often than not.
Pumping the pedal reduceses the grinding.  Is it necessary to bench
bleed the
clutch like it is the brake?  I did not bench bleed it.  The car is a '73 spit
1500.

Thanks for your help,
David Gates
