On my 67 Coronet with A Body brakes I use a 15/16" MC with ok results.
Can you call the manufacturer of the calipers for guidance?
I sent an email in to them, I am thinking this is the issue although I want to believe its an air pocket

I'm wondering if you are trapping any air there. Can you get a good picture straight on from the back? I'd like to make 100% sure there is no air trapped in the calipers before you go reinventing the wheel.

That was what I was assuming. Try taking the calipers off, turning them so the lower bleed screw is now on top and bleed again. I have no idea what passages are in the calipers, but they may not be able to get the air out of the lower piston. It's just a hunch, but I'd try that before anything else. Just make sure your helper doesn't step on the pedal with the bleeder screw closed, you'll be chasing pistons and seals around in the sand. If you are uncomfortable put a piece of 2x4 in there.
