I could get a pedal but after taking my foot off the brake for a few minutes the caliper would retract and I would have to pump the brake to get the caliper back out to engage the disc. I discovered I needed to work the emergency brake lever on the rear wheel caliper (lever on the caliper, not the e-brake handle in the car) back and forth a number of time to get the caliper out to the "staged" position for a good pedal. I discovered this accidently when I was trying to figure out why the caliper pulled back so far on release of the brake pedal. At any rate, I did this on both rear wheels and now have a very firm, solid pedal. Brakes stop good and I didn't have any leaks. Guess I was lucky. Mine are stock B&B rear caliper set up and stock B&B supplied Master cylinder. I bled mine with the help of my father in law. He pumped, I cycled the fitting. I put a quart through I think. Brian said these are GM brake calipers not Lincoln unless you have something different. Good Luck.
