heres my problem.. i just recently got my camaro (was sitting in someones back yard for about 6 months) and i brought it home first stop came and i had to floor the brake pedal to come to a rolling stop so i decided to change out the pads,new disks,drums and new front calipers to see if that would solve the prob.When i was done i bleed the brakes and i turn the car on and its almost the same ,, i have to be like a inch from the floor to stop.... so then i got the thinking it was the booster or MC so i decided to buy both while i was at it,i bench bleed the mc and installed them ,,, i bleed the brakes and tried it again ,,, almost the same result a bit more firmer but i still have to floor the pedal ,a bit less but almost the same.It doesnt lose presure i can come to a complete stop and hold the pedal all day without it fadeing ,, at this point im ,,,, n e help would be nice,,, thanks in advance

You probably still have air trapped in the Master Cylinder. If you have ever noticed the MC of these cars is a bit inclined, it's easy to tell that air bubbles can get stuck and unable to be freed by standard bleeding. Unless you can jack up your car to a 45° angle, you'll probably need to bench bleed the MC.

Hope that helps.
