I still suspect air in the lines. The clutch lines are difficult to bleed
(at least on my MGB) and I have oftentimes had to do extensive bleeding.
Technique is also a factor - when my son operates the pedal while I open
and close the valve on the slave cylinder, I am still left with air in
the lines. But when my wife helps, it bleeds better (she complains though).
Ironically I am suffering problems similar to you. I have just rebuilt my
clutch and bleeding the system still leaves me with a spongy clutch
pedal.But since I still have to put the carbs back on the car, I haven't
got too worried about the clutch yet. I will rebleed it again when the
car is ready.
My suggestion - take some time off and then try to rebleed it again. Some
of the air must still be there.
