We now have brakes. Put you through the windshield brakes. I replaced the calipers and pads. I flushed out the system, front and rear. I replaced the 7" single stage booster with a 8" dual diaphragm booster. It is really nice to be able to stop when you want\need to.
Thanks for all the help.!!

Five things that you cannot recover in life:

* The Stone after it's thrown
* The Word after it's said
* An Occasion after it's missed
* The Time after it's gone
* A person after they die

I did the same thing that you did, including gravity bleeding and changing the fluid, but I am still not happy with the results. I have close to 20 inches of vacumn. Sometimes I pull out first thing in the day, and I have a rock solid pedal that won't stop. If I get off the pedal and hit it again, I have a "better" pedal, but it won't put me into the windshield. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED a change in the sound when this happens, but looking at the vac gauge, it is between 18 and 20.I am lost right now!
