Internal seals on the master cylinder or a leaking booster.

If you keep your foot on the brake pedal does it sink or does it get hard?

Does the booster line have a vacuum leak?

OK so the abs issue is taken care of, the bracket that held the abs speed sensor was bent. anyways I still have to double pump my brakes to get full pedal. I bled them pretty thoroughly again tonight and they are still the same.
one pump about three quarters down and then the next pump stops just fine. Slow pressure to the pedal does not make it go to the floor either. I don't know, any suggestions?
Thanks again for all of your guys input on this.

Last two things it could be - caliper spring is missing, and or the bushings for the sliding pins are worn allowing the caliper to flex a bunch. If you have the springs, get hold of a new set of caliper busings and try that (both sides)

Try this,

Find an open lot with nothing to hit. While still, step on the pedal. Does it do it then? Then roll straight down the road for a 100ft and try again. Does it still do it? Then drive a couple full steering lock turns in each direction; I'm not talking just rolling, try to put some side loading into the front tires. Then try it again. Is it better? or worse? or the same?
