It's not that. I bled the brakes and i still have to brake pressure. It's like when i bleed one side the pedal starts to build up with pressure but then when i open up the filler cap the pressure drops. Resulting in no pressure. no brakes

Just did almost the same job on my '68.
Did you bench bleed the master cylinder before installing it? Sounds like you got air in the MC.
Also, I noticed you're in Hayward. I'm in Hayward too. If you need some help, hit me up.

Here is an article on bench bleeding the MC
http://www.misterfixit.com/brakbld1.htm
You can also do it on the car but feeding the bleeder hoses back into the resevour.
Make sure you are bleeding the system in the correct order; passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, driver front.

HERE IS YOUR PROBLEM... now you will have to bleed the brake system to death to get the air out. Make sure you pull off and bench bleed..
