Ok this may sound really stupid but it happened to me with my CPP kit on my 70. I am an aircraft mechanic and have pretty good mechanical ability and I still screwed this up. Check to make sure your calipers are installed on the correct side. The bleeder nipple needs to be pointing up. I had them backwards and they were pointing down. I fought this for a couple of weeks beating my head against the wall before I realized what I did. Swapped sides and the brakes were perfect. Hope this helps.
