I pulled the bleeders and tried bleeding with only my finger over the hole and a rag to catch the fluid.

It ended up being the rebuilt MC was bad. We put the old one in which was fine and everything worked great. Bled it in minutes. Speed bleeders rock.

We replaced the MC because we figured it would be preventative maint. We were really replacing the Brake Booster. So get this, it is bad too.

Both parts we bought from NAPA were bad out of the box.

Before I pull it apart again I am having my mechanic look at it.

We found a bad vacume leak on the engine that was probably contributing to the brake booster problem. I am going to heve him hook a vacume guage up to it and then look over our work.

I have never had a car stump me like this, its really pissing me off.
