yea sounds like a bad case of not bleeding the brakes after the install....i wouldnt even worry about installing a new master cylinder until you do that, im sure that will solve all of your problems

if you bleed the brakes and it stil continues just get a new master cylinder.

also make sure the rear wheel cylinders are not leaking.

theres some decent info on how to do it.

to check the cylinders, take the drums off, and take a small screw driver and GENTLY pry the outside rubber seal back just a LITTLE. If fluid leaks out from the seal, then they are leaking, if not and they appear to be dry, they are good. Remeber to push the seal back on all they way around. Make sure you check both sides of both cylinders. wheel cylinders are cheap if you need to replace them, they are usually around 10 bucks or less at most parts stores.
