brake problem

Denny:
GP is correct about the master cylinder size being important. We usually use the Chrysler style master cylinder available from Wilwood for these systems. Also, Wilwood also has an in-house manufactured master made for manual disc/cisc systems that is very good but more expensive.
The geometry issues brought up are also correct.
Finally, either vacuum or low pressure bleeding the system will save a lot of aggrivation. You didn't mention, but location of the master cylinder (firewall or floor mounted) will make bleeding more or less difficult.
Barring that, you could just have a defective master cylinder.
