Unhappy Help, help, help! I need some advice on my brakes.

Well it's been awhile since I last posted anything, I've been away too long. So here goes.

Some of you may remember that I was trying to convert my 69 over to disc. Well that part is done. Now I am having a hell of a time getting the brakes to bleed.

To start this off: Using the donors MC and combination valve the brakes did bleed and I DID have brakes that would work.....some of the time. I would have to pump them once before they would grab and then they would grab like hell.

I decided to change out the MC and valve with NEW units. Since that time I have little to no fluid coming out of the lines. The pedal goes to the floor with little force and no resistance. I have checked out the booster assist and I believe that to be o.k. Before putting the new parts on I did 'bench bleed" them.
My next course of action is replacing the new valve with the old one and trying it again. If that doesn't work then I will put the old MC back on and try it again. That is unless, someone out there has any other ideas or thoughts they would like to share.

I need to get my goat back on the road where it belongs.
