Default help on brakes

have changed 3 mc/booster and pedal still sink to the floor. Bleed it so many times but no luck. I've even let the shop bleed it for me but no luck. Can it be my calipar, thats messing it up? To let yha know i have a 94 bb/mc, with a 30/30 prop.
Going to the junkyard tomaro to grab a 40/40 dont know if it would help.
Its been weeks not driving my hatchie
Any tips would be helpfull.. .

Is the pedal somewhat firm and then slowly sinks or will it not build pressure at all?

Bleed the brakes with the car off. When I did my Integra brakes with prop valve swap, I bled the system until only new brake fluid came out of the bleeder valve. The old brake fluid was soy sauce and the new one was fish sauce.

Tryed to bleed with the car off, fluid is fresh but once the car starts pedal hits the floor.
There is no vacumm leaks wtf is going on.

I ask my dads uncle wich is a machanic and told us we might of blown the bb by bleeding it incorrectly.

Have to put it in and put it on an let the machanic bleed it.

i had the same problem before when i had the GSR booster on my EG. It is because the GSR booster is longer than the EG booster, so it cannot release totally. I do not know how people can put the GSR booster on EG, so i just keep using the EG one.
