Brake Expert Needed 200

As you can guess from previous posts I have been wreslting with brake issues.
So far I have replaced the junction box, hoses, and a couple of lines...but I still have this weird problem that hopefully has a simple solution. When I bleed the brakes (using power bleeder) i get great pedal, however, when i turn the car on I have no pedal. By peeking under the hood I see that when I press on the pedal fluid bubbles up in the first chamber. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I re-bled the line and same thing. This is a brand new MC. I pre-bled the MC by running hoses from plugs back into resevoir and pushing with a wood dowel until only fluid was coming out. I am fairly sure (I say fairly cause this is my first MC replacement) that no air was left. Is there any possible way the power booster is screwed up? I had the crazy idea that maybe air was escaping around the push rod and into the MC but it's these ideas that get me in trouble. Could someone please save me from another brake bleeding session or mechanic bill.
