Brakes are NOT fixed.....pedal still soft!! What next...? 200 1985

similar problem came to me last year,the shop the had just finished the" brake job" had put the rt. on the lft. and vise/v (frnt calipers).first i tried changing the bleeding sequence,to flush both circuts fully.still no pedal.
i decided air must be trapped in calipers due to the fact that the bleeders were in the wrong place,so i switched the calipers and began bleeding,i bled these brakes every imaginable way.still crappy pedal.the other guys had also installed a new m.c.so i decided maybe they messed w/the push rod,so i messed w/the push rod.hey i found my pedal, of course the rotors started getting quite toasty,so i reset push rod to spec.and decided to question the new m.c. that had been installed,rather than going to the time of buying new part and benchbleed, i pulled a known to be good off some car down the sreet? and threw it at this guy's problem .solid pedal.go easy on those other guys.slam them hard w/the safety lecture.and allow them some time to compensate your financial loss perhaps they are good at some other repair that you need.time would be much better spent sending them to school instead of court.hope the above is of interest.
