The only real problem I have now is brakes. I dont have any. Everything in the brake system is brand new. Here is what I have done so far...Bench bled the master, then vacuum bled the system at each wheel about 5 times. Pedal still goes to the floor. Power bled the system twice. Pedal still goes to the floor. Replaced the new master cylinder with another new one. Of course, bench bled it first. Then power bled the system, 4 times and pedal still goes to the floor. I get no air at any of the wheels. My rear brake pads are adjusted correctly. When I push the pedal, all 4 wheels do engage but not tight enough to have brakes and pedal still goes to the floor. I have done this my whole life and I just cant seem to figure it out. I thought maybe you guys might have some ideas. Its a simple system but I cant make it work.

You state "Rear Brake Pads" so I'm assuming you have 4 wheel disc? It's a common mistake to get disc brake calipers on the wrong side which puts the bleeder too low to properly vent all the air out of the piston pocket. This would apply to both front and rear disc/calipers.
