Just an fyi - P/S lines are not connected nor has the car been run and had the PS purged of air.

Thanks Jan. I did try vacuum bleeding for about 10minutes with no luck. I'll probably try it some more. But I don't think its a bleeding issue, but more of a pedal travel problem.

Thanks for the suggestion thou.

It had power brakes before. I don't believe there is a return spring (I'll check). My understanding is (from reading what posts on this subject I could) that manual only had the return spring, cars setup for power didn't. Thanks Todd.
