I've found that using the mityvac together with the speed bleeders
doesn't work very well. One or the other works, but not both together.
The valve in the speed bleeder tends to flutter under vacuum.

Thanks Leo, 

Did not have the fittings to bleed the MC separately but did use the 
mityvac to do the bleeding along with speedbleeder valves.
