Bleeder Valve for a 63

Anyone know where I can get a bleeder valve for a 63? I tried to bleed my brakes this past weekend and I think one of them is clogged.

Anyone ever try one of those speedbleeders?

Any information I could get would be appreciated.

I've tried those speed bleeders on multiple jeep builds, my buddies model A build and my other friends Audi build.... and they never really worked.

A friend a couple beers, and the 'ole pump-em-up and hold method always worked better in the end.

I guess I can't really hurt anything by drilling it. I was trying to blow it out with compressor.

Have done several brake jobs using the Russell Speed Bleeders and they always worked fine for us.
