IML: More 60 Brake help- going crazy!



Okay everyone, I know I keep bugging everyone, but this problem is still driving me up the wall. I rebuilt MC 3 yrs ago and less than 500 miles. I used silicon grease around the bleeder screws to stop bleed by. Then I used a handpump style brake bleeder at each wheel cylinder to breed the brakes. I had the wife at the MC pouring fluid in steadily as I went. I flushed the whole system out with new fluid. Without the booster pedal is hard, usually requires a second pump to get a great pedal, but still not soo hard I cant stop. With the booster the pedal seems too easy, but still grabbing only about 1/2 inch off the floor. Now being only 32 years old, I never knew how these pedals felt new, but It seems a little weird they should have such a long pedal stroke before stopping. Can anyone with a working 56-61 with the stock setup tell me how far and how solid the pedal should feel with the booster working!?!? I cant think of anything else I can do, I mean its not like the fluid is completely leaving the lines between each pedal pump, and the system is semi vented around the MC cap(no rubber  seal around screw down bolt), and everything else is new. Any help is soo greatly appreciated as I am going crazy here!!!!!!
