I have a 1968 camaro with power 4 wheel disc brakes. I replace the rear disc brakes because one puck was stuck in and wouldn't extend and my master cylinder was leaking. I bench bled the mc and replaced the rear brake calipers . I have bled the brakes about 8 times and the mc about 3, using the bleed ports on the mc. Every time I have have stiff pedals and feels good. I start the car and the pedal goes to the floor. I have the car on stands put it in drive and the rotors don't even slow down any. I adjusted the emergency brake to where I push on the lever I can't hand turn the rotor. It sounds like air but after bleeding it that many times I figured it would be out by now. No leaks on any connections. Thank you for any replies.
Brake stiff until I start the engine

Those brakes are a giant PITA in my experience.... I installed a set on a 57 Belair and they were clocked such that the bleeder was not at the very top and you had to unbolt them and rotate them so that the bleeder was at the top to bleed them. Not sure if this is the case here....
