73 Duster Brakes do not work

I don't think it matters which of the three nipples you attach the hose, I would go for the one that fits the hose the best. A couple of questions for you,
1. Where are you getting your vacuum from? Rear of carb or directly off the manifold?
2. Can you pump up the brakes and get a better pedal?
Pictures please!

Last, please give us a detailed description of how you bled the brakes.

Sorry, I cannot find my camera... I just drove it again for 10 min and the brakes seem fine, they do still go kind of low but I do not know what it is supposed to feel like.

I am getting my vacuum from the Manifold. I bled the brakes following the directions in the box (and a few youtube vids). I mounted the system in the car and inserted the port plugs that were provided. Filled with fluid and started to pump the brakes about 1 inch short strokes like the directions said. After about a few mins I did not see anymore bubbles but pumped a little longer to be safe. I reconnected the lines one at a time. I then proceeded to bleed the brakes starting with the furthest. I use the one man tool that hooks to the air compressor. It is always sucking air from around the bleeder screw. I flushed a tray and a 1/2 of fluid through the rears and a one tray of fluid for the front.

Thanks,
