Thank you for the incredibly fast responses.
I used two methods to bleed.
1. My wife pumped the pedal as I opened and closed the bleeders ( 1/4 to 1/2 turn) I think we stayed coordinated during that process.
2. Being mushy after that, I used a hand vacuum pump. I kept refilling the master cylinder, making sure it never got too low, and bled and bled. I bled about 2 pints of fluid.
By the way, once the pedal stops, it stops. So, problably still has air in the lines.
I have a line lock on the front brakes, which I have never used in 10 years. I think I will remove it, one less place for air to hide. There is also a front/back balance valve, located above the master cylinder. Maybe I should try to relocate it lower. A challenge, but probably worth it.
You all have answered, indirectly, my primary concern, a broken/leaky booster will not cause the symptoms I am seeing. Air, Air,Air, that is the problem. The challenge, getting rid of it. I will bleed again. This time, maybe blood. :-) Thank you.
