Is the bleeder at the top or bottom of your calipers as they are mounted?

Subject: Brakes need pumped to work, why?
I converted to AAJ discs. Used a 1976 Dart dual master cylinder. No
leaks anywhere.
I bench bled the master cylinder best I could.
I bled the brakes using a hose and check valve into a jar of brake
fliud. This works on all my other vehicles. I ran quite a bit of
fluid through to make sure.
Brake pedal goes straight to floor but will pump up quickly and hold
pressure. As soon as I let up and pedal comes all the way to the TOP
the brakes are gone again and need to be pumped. If I just let up a
little I don't lose them.
I then gravity bled them all for a few hours.. Two rears at same
time , then two front at same time.
Still get the same result.
I thought I read something about the Dart M/C losing pressure
somehow? Or, is it air in m/c? Bad m/c?
Any advice is great ... I would loooove to drive this car oneday.
