The set up you have is going to need some residual valves, 10 lbs rear and 2 lbs for the front. They should be mounted as close to the mc as possible. I have run into this bleeding problem before, I have friend with a 35 ford coupe that we needed to bleed the brakes after some work was done. We pumped about 3 gallons through and the pedal still was really low, I ended up using a pressure power bleeder to push all the air out of the system. That was no easy task because we had to pull the front seat and carpet out to access the top of the master with the bleeder top.
