I can't seem to get all the air bled out of my hydraulic clutch slave 
cylinder on my 85 C20.  I have read all I could find available on the 
web about bleeding hydraulic clutches and thought I would ask the 
folks on this list.  My next step is a power bleeder but I don't want 
to spend the extra money if I don't have too.  Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming the clutch master cylinder is like a brake master 
cylinder.  Perhaps there is still air in the clutch master cylinder.  
Disconnect the line to clutch cylinder at the master and make a short 
flare line that is connected to the pressure discharge fitting and is 
bent so that it discharges back into the reservour.  Make sure that  the 
tip is submerged in the fluid so it doesn't suck air when you release 
the petal.  Just pump the petal until no air bubbles are present in the 
fluid and reconnect the line and rebleed.
