+1 Many do need to be reverse bled. I did an an MGB that drove me crazy getting it bled, that was the only way to do it.
That's what I had to do with my 300ZX. Had to "massage" the air out of the slave cylinder, bleed it there, and it also has a bleeder topside by the passenger side headlight. Takes forever and probably went through at least a quart of fluid. No way would a gravity bleed take care of that system.
