Is the fluid level dropping in the master?  Make sure you haven't any leaks 
for a start.  But even with no visible leaks if the pedal slowly sinks to 
the floor, or goes straight to the floor, it means the master seals have had 
it.  I don't think it is worth repairing the older single-circuit metal 
reservoir masters, and certainly not slaves.

On an MGB the usual bleeding order is longest run first working towards the 
shortest.  Longest is the left-hand rear, as the rear flex hose is closer to 
the right.  Shortest would probably be front drivers side.  With both my Bs 
after conventional bleeding, even with a continual flow method like a 
Gunsons EeziBleed, the pedal is still long initially and pumps up with a few 
quick strokes, gong long again after just a few seconds.  I have to get 
someone to press hard on the pedal, while a rapidly open and shut each 
caliper nipple.  That always gets an extra lump or air out, and after that 
they are fine.
