Ma and Pa Kettle change their brakes!

After everything is re assembled I go to bleed my brakes cause I removed my caliper. I think I might of ruined my master cylinder.
Brakes havent been bled in the 4 years I had the car in my possession. I assume its the Stock MC. When my peddle went down to the floor I probably blew a ring. I put about a bottle and 1/2 through the MC. I bled my brakes till I could clearly see clean fluid comming out and no longer had any air bubbles. I even bled the lines directly From the MC itself as a final test. Still when I start the car my peddle falls flat. Sure ill have pressure for the first pump or so but its steadily decreases till its loosy goosy! Im purchasing a MC tonight have it in tomorrow. but before I install it I would like to know if there is any other tests i can preform or any suggestions to eliminate air in line as a problem and pinpoint MC as culprit.
thanks
