Yes, all 4 in the proper sequence, twice. I'm thinking I should put
some teflon tape on the bleeders to seal up those threads a bit and keep
the air from getting in my bleed tube (using a Mityvac), though I don't
think it is going back into the calipers. At first they were a bit
mushy after I put on the new caliper and filled it and bled it a bit, so
I went around the car again and then it was better, pretty much as it
was before I started the exercise.
I'll take a look at the bushing, but the pedal does not seem to have
play in it, just takes some travel to start brake engagement. I guess
they aren't "touchy!"

Check the bushing on the brake pedal where it meets the rod that goes
into the booster. If this is missing or deteriorated then you get more
travel before braking. Otherwise is sounds like you need to bleed
more. Did you bleed all 4?

So I got the new caliper on and hooked up, and system bled as best I
could (there seems to be a lot of air leakage around the bleed
nipples) with new fluid. The pedal feel is not a lot different from
before, still seems to have about an inch of travel before getting
much braking, and seems a bit soft though the brakes work OK. Might
this be a master cylinder issue, or is that just the way they are?
