Help! Clutch problems!
Recently installed a new clutch master cylinder,original was leaking at firewall. {Gm clutch master,w/reservoir,pre bled}
I went ahead and initially did the conventional bleed at the slave nipple,pulled lots of air out of the system. Also decided to power bleed the system with my power bleeder at reservoir(15psi at cap}
Pedal still has a little bit of play at the top of the pedal but is not real noticeable until I start the car in neutral,push th clutch in a few times and as I do this the pedal play is more noticeable. I turn off the car and after 20 or 30 pumps its better. Still air in the system? I can not find any leaks, what gives? Thoughts?

Without being able to see/feel it myself, I would tell you to make sure that the play you are describing is not mechanical. Is there any slop where the pedal attaches to the master rod?
If that appears to be normal, then I would just keep bleeding it. If you bleed it a few times and still can't get all the air out, your slave is probably done for :/
