Default Bleeding issue

I just installed a new RST twin disc along with a new pilot bearing, gm slave cylinder, tick speed bleeder, cut my gm steel flywheel, didnt use a shim cause i already have an adjustable master cylinder (mcleod) and after everything was bolted up i proceeded to bleed the system. pedal sticks to the floor but was able to get all the dirty fluid flushed out, i also tried using a vaccum pump and everything was coming out fine with no air bubbles and still pedal sticks to the floor.... the only thing i can think of is that i should rebuild the master with new seals....

Anyone else come across this issue????

What does the car do on level ground in first gear with the clutch pedal to the floor and the engine revved up? Stay still or move?

There's a return spring in the master. The pressure plate pushing back on the slave should send fluid back to the master causing the pedal to come up as well.

Erroneous.

the flywheel was cut so little figured it wouldnt matter about shimming it...
