<VV> '61 Monza Brakes

[kenpepke at juno.com]

With every new question I feel more like the newbie I
am...

I'm trying to rebuild the brakes on a '61 Monza.  I've
replaced the wheel cylinders, hoses, and a couple of
lines, and rebuilt the master cylinder.  I've bled the
brakes well enough to achieve a solid stream of fluid
at all four corners, but the system still won't
"pressurize"--the pedal goes to the floor every time. 

I pulled the now-rebuilt master cylinder apart to see
what I might find, and it seemed like everything was
in order, so I reassembled and re-installed.  No
difference.  Next, I transferred the rebuild kit
components to a second master cylinder off a parts
car.  Still no change.  Three strikes and I'm out of
ideas.

Suggestions?  Thanks!

Have you adjusted the brake shoes to be close enough to the brake
drums to make contact before you run out of pedal travel?
