Default Low brake pedal problem?

I recently replaced all four calipers and the master cylinder on my 79 and flushed the system but I still have a relatively low brake pedal. The brakes work fine and stop perfectly, but still I have this brake pedal that is low, anybody have any ideas why? :confused:

Does it get harder (or "less-low") as you pump it? Are you certain the system is completely & properly bled?

Yes I'm pretty sure it's bled properly. the pedal is hard as it gets down by the floor. Not on the floor but kinda close.
