Air Vac vacuum pump

QUESTION:

Hey guys, just had a Mustang II front end installed on a 40 Ford. Had to replace the lines and installed the metering valve and the check valve etc. When I tried to bleed the brakes I get no pedal whatsoever. I have fluid with no bubbles etc. coming out at each wheel but still can't get a pedal. Someone told me there is a trick to holding in the small button on the metering valve when doing this. Has anyone ever heard of this? I know it sounds like there is still air in the system but believe me, there isn't, at least not any that comes out when we bleed the brakes. Have tried the traditional way and with a Air Vac vacuum pump, no luck. Any suggestions?

ANSWER:

Where is the master cylinder? If its below the floor there is a special way to bleed the brakes (I can't remember, I read it somewhere tho, check out books on building a Hotrod). My master on my 46 Merc will be on the Firewall, nothing special to bleeding it.
