93 del sol brakes
I changed rear brake pads on my 1993 Del Sol SI and a piston dust seal (had piston out of bore)-brake pedal went to floor after trying to bleed brakes (no air in lines)-replaced master cylinder-pedall stil goes to floor and no air is in lines at bleeders and no air at master cylinder lines-never seen anything like it-help?

Re: 93 del sol brakes
Look for a leak where you replaced the seal and elsewhere.
Bleed the brakes with the car turned on. Bleed thoroughly. I use the bottle and vacuum hose method. It's better and faster than the pump and hold method that cavemen developed before the ice age when you could get a brontosaurus burger for 5 cents.
Check for a stuck caliper pin.
Usually do these steps before replacing a master cylinder that worked fine before.
