Brakes mushy need assistance!

Hello everyone this is my first post so please be kind if i'm doing anything wrong . I have a 1986 Firebird and my brakes have a mushy feeling when i apply the brake. I replaced the master cylinder a week ago and checked for leaks but still nothing. Any suggestions or assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Mr. White

Did you bench bleed the master? Pressure bleed the lines?
