Am I bench bleeding right?

I just put these plugs in after I was done so it won't keep leaking. I bench bleed it with these plugs off and got a good flow sometimes, I feel like I have air occasionally, I made sure there was always fluid.. Probably bench bleed it for a hour or more straight while I was watching tv lol.... But I noticed this 67 brake cylinder didn't come with the rubber hose to bleed with, just these two blue plugs.... Does it sound like I didn't every thing right? This it my first time bench bleeding

Should not take more than a couple minutes to force all the air out. When pumping, be sure the reservoirs do not go dry. Then you have to start over. Get the kit recommended above.

Even with those plugs you will likely get air in there when installing the lines. Pump to the wheel cylinders until all air is removed.
