I have a persistant problem with bleeding the brakes on my 1973 Cuda. Have installed new M/C , booster and also a new proportioning valve.The M/C was bench bleed before installation. I keep getting air bubbles from the bleeders which will not stop. I have checked every fitting in both front and rear brake loops for leaks and all seem tight and are not leaking. Am bleeding in the correct order starting from the rear right but cannot get the air bubbles to stop and the brake peddle keeps going close to the floor . Have been trying to solve this issue for some time with no luck. Any one have an idea what the problem could be ??????

Had similar issue, my problem was air was getting in around the threads when the bleeders were cracked open. Read a tip to add sealant to the threads and it helped.

What you said above I did except the booster. It ended up being the rear wheel cylinder.
Rear wheel seal might not be sealing. Bad seal, Rust or debris.
