It does sound like you may have got mistakes in the reman of a front caliper or two. I'm guessing you didn't intend to replace the master first go-around, but did after failing to bring the pedal up with the new calipers and bleeding.

Check to see if there are matched dimples at the bottom of the front calipers. Bench bleed (in a vise or on the car, either way) your new master. The 89 uses the differential pressure sensor in the octopus to light the brake failure light, but it doesn't cause brake symptoms. This "feature" was done away with on ALL '91s, not just those with ABS.

Do plumbers who become electricians install outlets upside-down? Hot on the left?
