Pressure bleeding

[Iain Atkinson]

When i bled my brakes and master cylinder recently on my Urq using the
eazibleed kit, i did the MC twice once with pedal up the other with pedal
down, a tip given to me by Jim Haseltine (thanks again Jim), the theory
being that pedal up and down gets rid of any air in either position.

I made a pressure bleeder today by using an old reservoir cap and
attaching a hose to it. I made it to change brake fluid in my '90 V8
(no clutch). Now to the question: Do I have to keep the brake pedal
depressed to allow fluid flow from the reservoir to the lines &
calipers, or can I just attach the bleeder and start bleeding, just
watching the reservoir? I've bled brakes the "old" way a million times
before, but never with a pressure bleeder..
