If you changed the master cylinder then u have to bleed all the wheels starting at the one farthest from the cylinder. so usually passenger side rear, drivers side rear passenger side front , drivers side front. if that doesnt get all the air out of the system you might have to bleed the master cylinder. air can get trapped up there. im guessing u know how to bleed brakes. one person pumping the brake while one person opens up the bleeder.
