I too have some issues with the brakes. When I got my car running a few weeks ago I felt the brakes were too spongy. I used a vacuum bleeder and had trouble at first until I removed the bleeder valves, cleaned them and wrapped the threads with teflon tape. I can't see any air coming out, but the pedal still sinks nearly to the floor. If you pump it a few times it will stay fairly solid, but, if you try it again after a few minutes you have to pump it again. I got the car as a turn key minus from B&B so I don't know if they bench bleed the master or not. I don't have any recent experience with manual brakes, is this need to pump normal? Seems to me the pedal should stay fairly firm all the time. Any suggestions?

The manual for the pump says to start with the wheel closest to the master. I always thought you started with the wheel furthest away.
