The brakes failed on this car. when I press on the brake pedal it goes clear to the floor with little resistance. I replaced the master brake cylinder and a broken brake line. This did not fix the problem. The action on the brake pedal is the same. What else would cause a complete failure of the brake system?

Hello,

Did you Bleed the Master Cylinder before attaching brake lines. And did you Bleed the entire system. If not then do so and see what happens.
