Re: Brake pedal

another thing to check is maybe you have a master cylinder that has the residual valves in the master cyl as well? some rebuilt cylinders used to be a disc drum set up and have the res valves in them still, sold as disc disc after the rebuild.
still, ensure you have free play and full stroke of the master and also no play in the linkage that will take away from a full stroke or leave you with no pedal freeplay
like said, bleed it out again, ensuring that you have no air in the system. start at the wheel furthest away from the master, then the next closest, and so on. usually the passenger's side rear, then the driver's side rear, then the pass front and finally the driver's front.a a vacuum bleeder drawing from the bleeder screw is another idea which you can do yourself once you have the vacuum part of it. pretty cheap these days at places like harbour freight. a one man bleeder is also easy to make it's just hard to see if you have the air out
