I know this is probably a dumb question, but, did you bleed the new master cylinder to get the air out of it after you installed it and before you tried bleeding the brakes? Just a thought!!!!!!!!!!!

also some master cylinders need to be bench bleed before being installed... and if you have access to a compressor a vaccum bleeder should work pretty well for you once you have the master cyl back in.

Well Demon138,

The electronic mail man came knocking at your door twice and nobody home. Do you have a better e-mail address than the one in your profile. That one is listed as unavailable.
