Did you have the calipers off? If so did you install them back on the right sides with the bleeders UP!!! Go check that if they have been off I had a little mishap and had the rear calipers on upside down and mine did the exact same as you are describing.

You may still have air in the system. If you replaced the master and the porportioning valve, you have to keep bleeding the brakes till you see no more bubble. It could take a while. If you didn't bench bleed the master before you put it on, it will definately take a long time. Also check the rest of the system for leaks. Maybe a hose dry rotted, or a line rusted out from sitting so long. Not to mention the possibility of a bad master cylinder out of the box if it was a rebuilt.

all the parts I replaced were brand new.I check the lines for dry rot and rust I dindnt find anything wrong.and yes I did remove the front calipers,I will have to look at it again to make sure I put it back on the right side.as for bench bleed I didnt do that.thanks for the help guys.
