Corvette Central has one that is a decent pressure bleeder. I used it for two cars, then the piece that fit over the master cylinder broke (it's plastic). I finished the bleeding with a Mighty Vac vacuum system.
The company was good about replacing the broken part but be aware that it's very brittle when cold (below 40 degrees).
This is the brake fluid that I flushed out of my '95 LT1. Remember, brake fluid is suppose to be clear. This stuff is a black as black gets.

I use the Harbor Freight one man bleeder. Works great and it's $3.99. I bleed brakes all the time on the racecar. Don't know why anyone would need anything more than this.

I used it all the time with my old brakes that were lip seal and used to get air in them

Motive bleeder with a wood block and C-clamp.
Use it dry, only as a pressure source (15PSI is all you need), and just remove the seal after each corner is done and top off the M/C as you go.
Makes bleeding the C3 brakes almost child's play!!
