1972 Alfa Romeo Spider SPICA fuel injection

Engine Mechanical problem
1972 Alfa Romeo Spider 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 186000 miles

I just changed the fuel filter and can't figure out how to bleed the air out of the fuel lines, my service manual only shows European models with carbs instead of injection-
Thanks for the info, Docfixit! My Spider has the SPICA system, so just loosen the injector lines and turn the key until gas comes out?

Do you have a Bosch system like L-jetronic. Should have a fuel distributor head with braded lines coming out to injectors. On top line in middle crack open if needed crack open each line to injectors.
