Thanks to all who took the time to respond to my request for advice. While I would prefer to just slink away in embarrassment, I will expose my senility to the world and tell the truth as to the cause of the problems (those under 50 may snicker). I inadvertently installed the front calipers right for left. This left the bleed nipple on the bottom vs. the top of the caliper. Though this fact should have only impacted the front system, the rears also were affected. This might be due to a restricted pedal movement or ineffective self adjusters. So...I have brakes and a red face. I also have an engine bay repaint to do and a new unneeded master cylinder. I think I'll buy a bottle of Ginkgo Biloba and/or Jack Daniels. Thanks again, all, for your patience and assistance. BB
