The lower hole on the pedal is correct for power, but figured it might be worth a try. Leave it if that's the way it's always been, and look elsewhere for a 'problem'.
You're still getting air? Can't really go much further in troubleshooting until all the air is bled out. Could still be your culprit...

As I was typing that, I was thinking it was too confusing to not post a pic - I'll post one today.
That is the hole it's always been on, but then again, the brakes haven't worked properly since I bought the car..
I got some air, but that's because I had opened the lines since the last time I bled. I have bled this until there was no air and still had the problem. I'm going to bleed more today, and see if I get more air, and report back. Last night when I was checking the pressure at the driver's side front caliper, I was getting virtually no pressure - around 50psi or less, and when I depressed the pedal with the M/C cover off, I saw a few bubbles come from the rear reservoir. I take it that means air some how got back in to the M/C? I'll bench bleed it again today...
