Hi Darrel,
In addition to all the good advice so far, also check the length of your MC push rod. I had occasion recently to check mine with a dab of clay and found it more than .200" short. It should be about .020" short. I have no idea when that rod was installed or what may have been changed since, but that much too short means my MC has not been pushing the correct amount of fluid. That can lead to all kinds of weird brake stuff. Easy to do while you have everything open. You can make a new rod the correct length from a piece of 5/16" steel rod. KenH and others show various ways of measuring rod length but a dab of Playdough, modeling clay or plumbers putty works, too.
