What master cylinder? Are you using the correct distribution block? Does the front line go into the front or rear of the master?

Are you using a master cylinder that is intended for a drum brake car, on a car with discs?
If so, then simply remove the 'residual pressure check valve' form the front brake portion of the cylinder. Check the appropriate service manal for this. [or get help from someone who knows what they're doing]

Other poossibilities.
Piston in caliper is sticking
Master cylinder push rod does not have free play at back of piston when pedal fully up.
