My brake pedal sinks to the floor. If I pump the brakes it holds pressure fairly well. when I release the brake and press it again while driving, it sinks to the floor again. I bled the Master cylinder on the sami, and bled the brakes according to the manual, and I still have the prob. I bought a used MC and installed and still have the problem. Unless I didn't bleed enough I'm thinking it's another bad master cylinder.... Imput?

You sould try unbolting your master from your brake booster and see if it is all wet with brake fluid. If thats the problem then its a bad master cylinder.

Did you bench bleed the mc? If you put it on dry you're kinda pissin in the wind.

Make sure your rear brakes are adjusted, sometimes they can get far enough out to do what you are describing. (assuming the rear are drums)
