Okay let me try and explain. I have a 1970 type 1, I have installed four disc brakes, I have also installed a B&M launch control on the front brake lines and have bleed the brakes and no matter what I do the brakes go the floor. I have installed two new master cylinders with the same effect, I can be sure there is no air in the system, as sure as I can be.
The back brakes seem to be fine the problem sounds and feels like it is in the front. From the master cylinder I have plugged one line (I have also tried teeing the two lines together) ran the line to the "IN" connection on the launch control "OUT" of the launch control to a tee then to each left and right brake assy. I can pump up the brakes and they are better but mushy. Any help or ideas would be extremely helpful!!!

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder(s) before installing, or just try to do it on the car - which won't work.

After a great deal of trying I finally figured out my errors, I had installed the front calipers on the wrong side causing the calipers to be upside down not allowing it to bleed.
