Bled brakes again...still no pedal! 200 1985

The master cylinder came with an instruction sheet that has a toll free tech assistance phone number on it. I will call them tomorrow and also talk to my contact at the Volvo specialist repair shop. I bled the master cylinder again by cracking the brake lines while my wife pressed and held down the pedal while I closed the line off again. With the engine off, I feel some pedal but it will slowly go to the floor. With the engine running, there is no pedal at all.
I'll find out what's going on pretty soon I hope. It seems like a simple system to be having so many problems getting a firm pedal.

Tomorrow night will be my last attempt to fix it after I talk to some more Volvo guru's and then I'll be forced to throw in the towel and get it towed to the shop. My wife really needs the car back and I'm running out of time and options.
