Did I miss something?

I changed out my old MC for a new 19mm per the Pelican article, and changed out my soft lines while I was at it. I've bled all 4 corners with a vacuum pump, but the pedal still goes to the floor. I cant get it to pump up at all, even depressing it multiple (~50) times.

Help?

i should add....

when i was having issues trying to get mine firmed up someone suggested replacing all my rubber lines and i finally did.
when i did my pedal firmed right up. dang club members... think they are so smart.... LOL

right rear wheel cylinder first.
then left rear
right front
left front last.

have a second person pump, pump, pump, then hold pedal down.
you then bleed valve and close valve.
do this three times then top off MC.

do it again till you get no bubbles and new looking fluid coming out at all 4 corners. some use blue fluid so that they know when all the old $hit is completely out of the system. speed bleeders are pretty cool too. they're gunna be on my christmas list this year.
