Re: 1965 L76 Non Power Brake Car - Brake Bleeding Issue

I'd focus on the master cylinder first. Rebuild and bench bleed. Make sure there is no damage, at all, to the bore. If damaged, do not hone; have it sleeved. If your rubber brake lines are original to the car, replace them whether they're related to your problem, or not.
Beyond that, let me say this: brake bleeding on a Corvette is one of the jobs I fear most, maybe even THE job I fear most. I've always had problems just like those you are experiencing. I've never figured out why. On other cars I've had no trouble bleeding, at all; on a Corvette, nothing but problems.
