Default wont bleed after LS7/LS2 swap (damn mccloed master)

I read every write up.I bench bleed the master.I went out and bought a mity-vac.I replaced the seal on the master.What else can i do?

The culprit seems to be the mccloed master cylinder.I bought it used from a friend.It had been sitting up for a few months and got gunked up.We pulled it apart and cleaned it up.Finally i was getting fluid out the shrader valve when i would bench bleed.I put it on the car for the 50th time and put the mity-vac on it right away.Ther were some serious bubbles comming threw the line,but i noticed i was loosing a little pressure and had to keep pumping after a few mins.Is that normal?

What next?
