I not a mechanic, but when I was researching my brake system I believe I read that you needed a residual valve if your lines and plumbing was above your master cylinder.
I had the same problems with my brakes for some time when I built my truck. I bled mine countless times and eventually got it where it would stop. I still think it could be better, but not sure how to improve it. I got drums on all four wheels with a firewall mounted MC. Good luck and lets us know how you resolve it.
