It's good practice to bleed all four calipers whenever the system has been opened up. You only need to bleed the top screw on each side of the caliper. Start with the right rear outer, then the right rear inner, then the left rear outer, then the left rear inner, then the right front outer, then the right front inner, then the left front outer, then the left front inner.

Sammy you may not end up doing it but I ended up buying a pressure bleeder from Summit to get my Strange brakes bleed right. Man that thing worked great.

Thanks even though I never touched the rear system?

Why us it better than gravity bleeding? Don't ask me but I tried everything even thinking it must be the master cylinder so I bought and installed a new one. I bought the motive kit. You can call and buy the kit for your set-up or buy the universal one so you are set up for all your cars. https://www.summitracing.com/search/depa...and-accessories

Only use the bleed screws at the top. Calipers with screws on both sides and done like that so they can be mounted either direction. Rears should only need to be bled if they got air in them at the master, but if they've been together for a while, I'd bleed and flush them while I was there.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I pumped them up to try and get a pedal, from only the outer top first then bottom on the outside bleeders. Opened up the reservoir cap and bubbles were flying around in there.

Air rises to the top. Bleed from the both tops only. Don't pump it. You just aerate the fluid and make it impossible to bleed until you leave it set awhile.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I can live with this price tag. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mvp-0103/applications/?ibanner=SREPD2 Your best bet would be to call them and tell them what master cylinder you have.
