Motive brake pressure bleeder?
Why do you need a pressure bleeder? I've bled a whole bunch of systems and never needed anything more than this:

I've got two of those and tried it out Saturday. I evidently have trapped air somewhere that this thing is not getting out. Either that, or I need to borrow someone's leg. I tried doing it myself.
P.S. Replaced power booster and master cylinder. Shoes, pads, drums, rotors are all good. Back brakes are adjusted properly.
Problem: Pedal is going near to the floor.

sounds like the master needs to be bled. I had that happen not long ago. Crack all bleeders open and put a coffee can under each one. Let it gravity bleed for an hour or so and try to bleed them again. Worked for me.
Make sure you have a little brake fluid in the bleeder before you start pumping the pedal.

Re-read your post. When you say pedal goes near to the floor, does it have pressure near the floor? Do you need to adjust/replace your master cylinder rod? Did you install the same style MC that you removed?
If the pedal is near the floor but hard, I would look for rod length issues.

Bench-bled the MC. Replaced with same. In fact, replacing the booster and the MC made no difference. Bleeding made a very small difference.
It's not hard. It's just low and a bit soft. (I hear you laughing)
I am thinking there is air trapped somewhere that is not bleeding. In researching on Corral, possible it is back in the junction since the rear was replaced at some time.
I like your idea about opening all of the bleeders. May try that. Thanks!
