My cuda has manual brakes and I installed a new master cylinder, calipers, lines, hoses and wheel cylinders. But when I press the pedal in there is hardly any effort. I can actually push the pedal down with my hand pretty easily. Brakes were bled starting at the right rear and working to the front. Any ideas whats causing this.

You say you started with the RR wheel.....
Did you bench bleed the master cylinder? If not, there is likely still air in it.

I used to care but....... things have changed
