Default Need Help!!!! Brake Problem.

When i hit the brakes there is very little pedal before it feels like the pedal hits a brick wall. The pedal is not going to the floor and there is no air in the lines(already bled the brakes). The car does stop ok but i swear there should be more pedal before it hits the wall. Anybody know what this is? Is it a bad master cylinder? Any help is appreciated.

Make sure that you hooked the vacum hose up that goes from the intake to the booster.
