Did you change the diameter of any of the lines? If not. Try this, take the brake switch off on that fitting put in a pressure gauge. Bleed everything and make sure you are getting at least 600 psi, I know you just replaced the master cylinder but it may not be a good one.

: Hey all, I have been exchanging emails with
: Dan and Craig (Thanks a ton guys) about an
: issue with the brakes on my 170. I am
: unable to get a firm pedal. I have replaced
: the master cylinder (bench bled before
: installing), replaced all 4 wheel cylinders
: and all rubber lines. I have bled the lines
: 8 or 10 times starting in the pass rear to
: drivers rear to pass front and then drivers
: front. I have my son pump until the pedal
: is firm and hold down. I open the bleeder
: valve and close it before it stops flowing.
: The last 5 or 6 times, I have gotten no air
: out of the lines, but the pedal is still
: soft. I have checked all the connections
: and there aren't any leaks along the way.
: I'm a little frustrated and would appreciate
: any suggestions.
