The basic unit is not expensive, sold by many vendors. But like so many marketers, they get you when you need to buy a different adaptor. The adaptor may cost as much as the original unit.
Is the Motive Products 0102 CLASSIC CAR/BOAT TRAILER POWER BLEEDER with 1 3/16 master cylinder inside threaded opening the right one for the early Ford?

Yes

Edit: BTW, the Motive Products unit is designed to be filled with brake fluid. I never did that....too messy for a one-time job. And then the unit would get stored with fluid in it. I put the brake fluid in the master reservoir, and just used the unit to provide the air pressure. Of course this then requires checking and refilling the reservoir several times.
