1987 244 brake bleeding nightmare! 200

I cant get my brakes to bleed.I replaces 3 calipers with beck arnley remans.Even put in a reman master cylinder.Girling brakes on mine with vented rotors.
I have been using a mity vac brake bleeder and using the proper sequence to bleed them.Still even after 2 quarts plus of brake fluid thru the system i have nothing but a temporary hard pedal.

I am really at a loss here.Never before have i had such difficulty getting brakes to bleed.My sequence is per manual and per some brickboard members.Even tried traditional bleeding sequence(most other cars) which worked 2 years ago when i replaced one caliper.

Anyone know whats i can do?Im not pumping brake pedal more than half pump when the mighty vac is sucking fluid from bleed valves.so not using much pedal travel.
Im guessing the problem is not the proportioning valve becauese the brake system was fine before.
