I had someone pump the brake for me while I looked and there is no movement at all up front. I removed the rear drum to watch while brakes were pumped and no movement at all.
Just doesn't make sense to me as all the air seemed to be pushed out.  The only thing different besides being ide for seven months is the addition of the remote reservoir.

If this is not adjusted properly you will not get any movement, try loosening the nuts on the master cylinder and booster connection, as you loosen them if the m/c pushes away from the booster the rod is two long and needs adjusted ( it's left handed threads) If this is the case the cylinder piston is past the ports and no fluid can flow but you will still have pedal movement. I've seen guys put washers between the m/c and booster, I don't recommend this.

Another thought, if you have proportional valve did you trip it, if so you will need to reset it.

Yes I adjusted the rod according to the video provided by Speedway.  Don't know about the proportioning valve as I didn't mess with it.  It has a knob adjustment and I don't know how to set it.

It was the rod from the booster to the MC.  The pedal to the booster I adjusted same as the old one.  I left it retracted and adjusted the clevis to the pedal in the up position.

I haven't had anyone help me bleed brakes in years....and I don't use a vacuum bleeder.
ED,

Do you gravity bleed one at a time or all four?

Yes, but I just forced all the air out as shown, I didn't try to operate it.

Yea, I just forced air through the ports.  I've been gravity bleeding all day and no luck.  I guess I will take it back down, bench bleed the MC correctly and start over. Tomorrow though, I just don't have it in me right now.

Thanks Ed...
