I've bled the clutch on my 88 80q several times and have always used a very simple procedure:

Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeder nipple (aquarium air tank hose works if you stretch it out with some needle nose pliers prior to use).

Place end of hose in a container with some brake fluid in the bottom.? End of hose should be below the level of the brake fluid.

Open bleeder screw at clutch slave cylinder.

Pump clutch pedal slowly through full range of motion, perhaps 10 times. Once the fluid in the line is new and clear and bubble free, tighten bleeder screw.? 

Test clutch.

You're done.
