(Update, DO NOT USE BRONCO MASTER....I think I screwed up, bronco master cylinder is not one to use for the upgrade....my mind must have swapped "bronco" for "mustang" I've come back searching through this site and found no reference to Bronco master cylinders.  Since I thought it was this forum that recommended the Bronco master I clearly screwed up)

Alright guys, I've replaced everything, the entire brake system all brake lines, hoses, wheel cylinders etc.  Only thing not stock is I'm using a 1968 Bronco Master Cylinder.  No leaks.  I've bled the system.  Drums were turned smooth, brand new pads.  Brakes are adjusted pretty darn tight.

My problem is I don't get a firm pedal until the SECOND push on the pedal.  The first push goes to the floor with no slowing of the car, then the second push stops about 4-5 inches from the floor board and stops the car well.   Why two pushes of the pedal?  What am I missing?

Don't worry I've only driven 12 ft back-and-forth in the driveway, roads in Wisconsin are still safe
