I didn't have time to work on it tonight due to other commitments but I'm going to try several of the suggestions that were given here tomorrow, starting with clamping off the front brake lines to see if the pedal returns. If so, then I'll go to Carquest and speak to them about possible problems with the calipers.

The booster worked fine before I did the brakes and I didn't have pedal with my old master cylinder either, but I did have pedal when the MC was plugged and the brake lines were removed. I wish I had kept my old calipers, but I didn't expect to have the problems I'm having and the old calipers were no good anyway.

I'll post back tomorrow after I do some more detective work.
