Hello, decided to dust the cobwebs off the car awhile back and have been tackling a brake issue ever since, its a HK Holden brougham 307, disc/drum, ive replaced the brakelines,master cylinder, v8 booster, and calibers. after bleeding all 4 corners both the fronts dont seem to be applying the brakes unless you pump the peddle afew times, have bled the car about 6 times now with no luck. any help would be appreciated.

Did you install the calipers so the bleeder nipples are at the top?

A quick & easy check is to clamp off the 2 front hoses & see if the pedal improves markedly.

If it does, 8D11PCH2 is on the money.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0
