I have done a disc brake conversion on my 1963 Galaxie as shown on this thread.

I am having a problem with bleeding the front calipers.
I did the 2 man bleeding job, fired up the car, drove it up and down the street a couple of times, and then came home disappointed.
We then thought about it and started bleeding again.
There is a problem when bleeding the front brakes, but I can't figure out why.
I am using a clear plastic tube from the bleeder nipple into a jar.
We can pump and bleed 3, 4 or 5 times with no air, but then we get a stream of bubbles. So we did it again and again with the same thing happening.
Then I noticed with the nipple closed off, a stream of bubbles started running out. What the?
So is the nipple sealing all the time? It was closed off very tight.
So we go to the other side and the same thing happens after a little while, with the bleeder nipple tight.
Why on Earth are bubbles streaming down the clear tube when both the nipples are tight?
Is it a coincidence for some reason that both bleeder nipples may be faulty?
