I have a rock hard pedal on my 68 and it stops on a dime.

FFS, forget gravity bleed, forget vacuum bleeding, forget the two man pumping procedure, forget anything else, just buy a power bleeder already. It will be the best $60 you ever spend, and you will be saying to yourself, "why the hell didn't I buy one of these years ago", I certainly was, and still do every time I use it.
It makes it a QUICK one person job, no chance of the master cylinder going empty and sucking air, and it makes bleeding even the most troublesome systems childs play.
I bought mine from Corvette Engineering here (but you can buy them from lots of places): http://www.corvettengineering.com/motive.html
