Hi. replacing the master cylinder is tricky to get all the air out of the system
But starting at the master cylinder undo the connections coming out of it and make sure you get flow out of thoses connections before you move on to the next step (sometimes the the brake pedal needs to pushed down to get flow started )
Now, atmospheric pressure should help. Make sure the fluid is topped right up.(leave cap off)
Now open all 4 bleed screws, the fluid should flow from the master cylinder down to the wheel cylinders and front calipers.
Close the bleed screws when it looks like the fluid is flowing steady out of each bleed screw.
Now when you pump the brake pedal you should get some pressure at the pedal ( more bleeding will be needed.)
Now Using the help of another person bleed in the normal way starting at the furthest bleed screw away from the master cylinder
I hope i have been of some help to you

First bench bleed the master cylinder. Or if its still on the car do this, have some one pump the pedal hold and open one line,do this three times, move to the next line pump three time hold and open the line. Hows the pedal. getting firmer no go ahead bleed as usual. let me know we can fix this together
