I HAVE CHANGED OUT MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BOSTER ALONG WITH A CUT LINE. I HAVE BLEED THE BRAKES STARTING AT MASTER CYLINDER AND THEN LT REAR, RT REAR, FRONT LT, FRONT RT (DIRECTION GIVEN FROM FRONT OF CAR). I HAVE FIRM BRAKE UNTIL I START THE CAR. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST...ALSO HAVE CHECKED THE VACUM GOING INTO THE POWER BOOSTER AND IS WORKING FINE.

Sounds like you still have air in the line, especially to the rear, I used to have someone pumpm the pedal gently, as I held a finger over the open bleeder at the right rear(passenger) side, then bleed all 4 again. DO NOT let the master go dry during bleeding! You also might need a third person to hold the button on the combination valve, thats where the line to the rear attaches. You did bench bleed the master first right?

Might try cracking those lines to check for air there too.
