I'm not sure how the speed bleeders work?
To bleed the brakes, start by pumping the pedal several times with the engine off to remove the vaccum from the booster. Then start with the brake furthest from the master cylinder, the right rear, attach the clear hose to the bleeder and the other end in a container with brake fluid in it. Have somebody pump the brakes a few times and then hold pressure on the pedal, then open the bleeder and let the fluid flow for a couple of seconds, tighten the bleeder before releasing the pedal. Repeat until all the air is out(as seen in the clear hose). Then proceed to the left rear brake, right front then left front.
keep the master cylinder full and the cap on it while bleeding, if you run it dry, you'll have to start all over.
Good luck
