Sounds like you gotta leak, internal or external, master cylinder might be bleeding down internally.

At your parts house in the "Edelman" brass fittings cabinet get a pair of inverted flare straight thread plugs to cap the M/C ports. On the end they will have a recessed flare a mirror image of the brass seat(s)in the M/C. Cap the M/C & if it's good (& bled out) the pedal w b rock hard w virtually no travel. (1)Jump on the pedal hard and (2) put steady light pressure on it, these 2 tests will tell you if it is the prob or look further downstream. Or if not wanting to grab some fittings rebleed the M/C as it sounds like it's bad or there's air in it

the caliper is a metric for a s10 but the bleeder screw is at the very top would of thought by now the mc would of pushed the air to the lines as iv went threw a full bottle of fluid its got a slight pedal but i can still shove to floor with my hand i also removed the power brake booster to make room for the hemi

dont know if this is one of these cases but I'd heard of some calipers needing to b tilted & the hole at the top of the bore needs 2 b at 12 o'clock where the bottom of the angled passage meets it as opposed to just the bleeder screw being at 12 o'clock at the top of the passage.

well got to notice that the colar that goes around the line on the caliper is hitting the sway bar mount on the leaf spring so i get to pull it off and clearance it
