Brake Pedal Feel - Need some help, after bleeding ?? Its kinda soft. Options

[913B]

Is it suppose to feel hard on the first push. The pedal goes almost all the way down, then the 2nd and 3rd pump the pedal feels hard, but if I wait a few seconds the hard pedals goes away ?? Is this normal for an early 71 with 19mm MC or do I still have air in the system. I bleed it with the Motive Power bleeder and manual bleeding it with the speed bleeders. Is the problem with the speed bleeders ? I recently rebuilt all the calipers and install new lines, no leaks, but the MC is used though.

Let me know your experiences fellas ?

No I did not bench bleed the MC. I installed it dry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I have speed bleeders on all four corners. Unfortunatley I dont have a buddy close by to lend a hand to help bleed the old fashion way. I may have to train my son to pump the pedal. I adjusted the venting clearance tonight and it helped a little but not a huge difference. It was kind of hard to slide the feeler gauge on the inside pad with the pad pins and spreader installed. I had to remove the metal spreader in between the pads to slide the feeler gauge on the inside pad. I dont see any leak near MC or the pedal cluster or anywhere else. I do need to adjust the brake pedal rod clearance to the MC. I had the pedal cluster out doing an overhaul. I thought the power bleeder would do magic.
