1995 Brake problem

I put a new master cylinder on a 1995 Ford F150. I bled the brakes, went through almost 2 quarts of brake fluid in the process of bleeding them Absolutely no air coming out of bleeders. When engine is running and brake pedal is depressed it travels to floor. One pump and it is about 5 inches off the floor. When engine is not on the pedal is firm at about 4 inches off floor. I hear no vacuum leaks and when vacuum hose is disconnected from the brake booster engine speeds up and the goes back to normal when vacuum hose is put back on the booster. The booster seems to test OK.

Whats going on?????

Did you bench bleed the new master before you installed it?
