when the booster goes bad the brake pedal will be very hard to push. when the master cylinder goes bad the brake pedal goes to the floor. you either have a bad master cylinder or a ton of air in the system

do you have a leak anywhere?

maybe you installed the master cylinder wrong, or the o-ring is squished letting air in the system.

Never took the two apart, They come off a DA and sat in the garage for a bit then onthe EF. Now NO Pedal. There is no leaks either. all the valves are closed and the lines are sealed. Not so much worried bout the old shit. Got new stuff just need to make sure its adjusted correctly.
