Default I think my MC blew...

just lookin for a second opinion, but I just got done upgrading to 87-93 front spindles and rotors with SVO calipers and pads. I got them all bled out and my brother said the pedal got pretty firm, then when i go out today the pedal goes to the floor with engine off offering little resistance. I figured maybe the calipers weren't extended yet, so I fired it up and pumped it a few times, no luck. I get it to build up a little bit of pressure then it will apply the brakes only a tiny bit, if I let it sit I lose all pressure. I wouldnt think this is caused by air because it flowed solid streams of fluid and I would think I would have SOME pressure, but what do you guys think?

theres no leaks anywhere that you can see? fluid in the MC?

try bleeding the brakes again... furthest from MC to closest.

nope no leaks, I checked it over and as said had a solid stream. Id be more inclined to bleed it again but I barely even have rear brakes and that system is perfectly fine
