Are you squirting fluid out somewhere, or just letting air in? I think I had
cross threaded the line to the top cylinder and that was my problem that was
a bitch to find.

Yes I adjusted them tight before bleeding and I get good flow through the
new bleed valves. I started to take the cylinders off to take them back
based on what Metaphysical VW said and the flex hose going into the left
cylinder seemed to be loose. So I tightened it and re-bleed the system. I
got a little brake so I thought I was on the way to success. Then after
bleeding the rear I tested the brake and am back to nothing. After a few
expletive deleated (*%&$##*) I am packing up and headed to Dennis' I think
that his cliff will do nicely.

rust is a possibility or a flex hose.  Take the bleeder screw all the way
out and hold it up to a light to see if there's any obstruction.  Also, the
hard line could be plugged up.

OK Dennis I hope you got your brakes stoping. Are there any tricks that I'm
missing in bleeding? I replaced rear wheel cylindes and shoes all the way
around on Tylers '65 bus. I can't get them to bleed out. Suggestions?
