Re: brake prob. need help
the only thing thats been done so far is a valve cover gasket kit. but i just bled the brakes about three times over. it got stiffer but still sinks to the floor.

Bench bleed the new master by plugging the outlets, filling it with fluid and pumping till it gets hard. Then install it in the car.

I believe you could maybe have some air in your brake system i would recommend an bleeding sequence of all 4 lines get all the air out

before you go and replace the whole master, get yourself a new cap it could just be a problem with the gasket in the cap. Also check your vacume line to the booster maybe its dry-rotted.
