Default Bleeding Brakes - Seems to be improvement LOL

Firstly........yes this is a serious post!

Basically, ive just been out doing the brakes on my Orion which i use everyday as the pads were shot and the brake fluid was very mucky!

I have had a VERY UNSUCCESSFUL attempt at bleeding the brakes (standard factory brakes) - Brand new fluid, pressure bleeder, used about 20psi of pressure, bled them all in the correct sequence!

The fluid is running crystal clear from every bleed nipple, ive bled every last drop of fluid through that i can (an entire litre), but the pedal is shit.

Anyone got any suggestions, cos im all out of ideas!!

Oh and just to add, its 1985 car, so theres no ABS or rear load apportioning valves!
