Default Brakes hanging up after ABS delete

I recently performed an ABS delete(pump didn't work) on my 1995 integra gsr. I replaced the master cylinder with an RS unit that was bench bled, prop valve was changed to a 40/40 rs unit and lines were fitted. After bleeding the brakes two times they are still hanging up pretty badly. The booster is hooked up properly and there don't appear to be any leaks in vacuum or brakes lines.

I'm going to look over everything tonight and bleed the brakes once more to see of that helps.

Any suggestions/things to check?

TIA!

did you replace the brake booster with the non abs one as well? if not then that is the probblem bc i made that mistake only to find the abs bb pole os slightly longer then the non abs one, which actually keeps fluid pressurized

^^^ The RS booster is different. Also, you need to adjust the push rod.

That's what I did wrong. I replaced the master cylinder with the RS non abs unit and kept the GSR ABS unit.

I switched out the master cylinders and with the GSR unit back in place the brakes are working properly.

Check the push rod adjustment to avoid future grief.
