Still suffering from hard brake pedal

[pops]

I have had a hard brake pedal for years. Finally saved up for a rebuilt Booster ($700). I have confirmed the check valve is working and have fluid in the master cylinder. I was told to bleed the booster first. Upon starting the car and cracking open the bleeder on the booster I find that nothing is coming out of the bleed valve when pushing on the brake pedal. The pedal feels a little different since installing the booster but it remains hard and again, no brake fluid is coming out of the open bleeder valve. Can someone help me out?

Please post pictures of the booster, the master cyl, and the lines that connect them. Perhaps someone can see an issue.

Here they are. The only item that I did not get with the rebuilt was the brass fitting that attaches to the brake line going to the front chamber of the master cylinder. I am including photos of it as well.

Have you tried bleeding the master cylinder?
I use a line from the out port bent so as to go back into the reservoir.
This would be a good starting point
Making sure you have flow and no air

I'm getting brake fluid at the booster from the line going back to the front chamber of the master cylinder. And if I disconnect this line I get good fluid flow from the master cylinder.

Back in the 1970's I had a hard pedal on my `57 (no power brakes) and found it to be the vent on the master cylinder cap was damaged from the continuous use of pliers to remove the cap. The cap has a pin hole on the side of the wrench area. This is unlikely your problem, but it can happen.
