Yeah it's going to be a code brown the first time down. Still don't really have a game plan yet except to pull in and out the garage a few times first and possibly attempt some power braking.
I did bleed everything the old way with the gf. The handbrake feels solid but the pedal is still pretty soft. This tells me the issue is in the master cylinder and/or the front calipers. Going to pull the master cylinder and bench bleed it tomorrow. Should have done that before throwing it back on but it's fucking messy and I was careful to keep everything sealed up on it. Should give me the chance to verify the depth on the booster pushrod and adjust it if necessary. I'm also going to re-route the passenger side line since it does go higher than the master cylinder and that could be part of the problem as well.
I need to extract a broken bleeder screw in my drive side front caliper in case air trapped behind that as well. I was able to bleed it with the other screw but the procedure is to do both. With luck I just might get a shakedown run in but I doubt it at this point.
The good news is the engine fired right up once I fully seated the 2 loose spark plug wires and made an extension for the wire running to the distributor. I couldn't rotate it enough to get the timing right since I didn't really leave much slack in it.
