[V8] My brakes, what am I doing wrong??

[Seamus O'Carey]

I finally finished replacing the brake servo and rear calipers on the silver
car, so yesterday I was able to bleed the brakes (swapping in SS lines as I
went), but I must be doing something wrong.  My boss has a pressure bleeder
for his Porsche, so I borrowed it to assist with the bleeding, but I could
hardly get anything to come out of the calipers.  I followed the sequence
described in the manual, keeping the gauge around 10psi, but very little
fluid would come out of the calipers.  When I got back to the right rear
brake no fluid came out at all.  I had to have my roommate help me do it the
old fashioned way (pump the pedal a bunch then hold it while I open the
valve and close it again), but I was under the impression that the pressure
bleeder made that not necessary.  I drove the car around the block and it
stops much better than it ever did before, but the pedal is still VERY
squishy and the BRAKE light is still on.

I'm getting pretty frustrated.  The car's been sitting for well over 6
months and even when the brakes are done I still need to do the shocks and
cv boots, before it will really be safe to drive.
