Ok I will do that tommorow it is 11 o clock here in New Hampshire and its snowing.

Are you loosing any fluid out of your rear wheel cylinders? If not, the only two things that I can think of would be bad mastercylinder or possible bad brake booster.

Did you only put one master cylinder on or did you replace the new master cylinder with another new master cylinder?

I really hope you find out what's wrong because I'm going through the exact same thing right now. I can't get a firm pedal to save my life.
