Still no brakes

I tried everything you guys suggested from the last forum to get fluid down the lines:

I took the MC off to make sure everything was put together correctly, filled it completely with fluid and evacuated all air, and reinstalled it. Still can't get any fluid to go down the lines following the proper bleeding procedure with my son helping me. I have four brand new wheel cylinders and all brand new brake lines and hoses. I did not replace or rebuild the MC, everything seemed to be in good shape. The cylinder wall was nice and smooth but after sitting for 6 months, it has corroded some.

I think the piston is not returning either due to a weak spring or rough cylinder wall, or both.

I think I'm going to replace the MC with a new one. The PIF lists Raybestos #785, is this still a current model number? What are other sources for master cylinders?

Thanks, Roger
