[NoVa-Corvairs] More brake bleeding nonsense

1) Is it possible to bleed brakes by running a bleed vacuum hose to the intake plenum of another car, letting the car idle, then opening the bleed valves?  The old brake fluid goes into the other car's intake, and is burned up.

2) Just curious: does a Corvair have vacuum ports? 

3) The reason for all of this is because I installed the dual brake master cylinder in my '65, but the pedal has absolutely no resistance even after bleeding at all four corners (no nipple on the BMC).   Thoughts?
