I have bled the brakes several times around. Still spongy.Btw,this is a four to eight conversion. I swapped out the booster and master cylinder. [patriot]

How much fluid are you bleeding?....You might have air trapped all the way up by your master cylinder and you'll have to bleed a lot to get rid of it...

Did you bench bleed your master cylinder?...

Ya it's always good to bench bleed but if it's on the car you can still bleed it. Just crack the brake lines going into the master much like you would a regular caliper. This will do the same thing as bench bleeding it.
