The Girlings in the rear take 3/8 x 24 speed bleeders. I think that is pretty standard. Afraid to state for the fronts. I have the Chevrolet calipers and one side took another 3/8 x24 but the other side took a 5/16 bleeder although I don't recall the thread rate. So, it's best to pull the front wheels and see what you have there first.
There are speed bleeder with factory applied sealant on the threads and also without. I bought the type with sealant on them. I found them at Pep Boys on one of those racks with all the blister pack of Help-type parts. I think they are Dorman though.
