If you've used scrapyard or rebuilt components, that could be an issue. The other thing to check for air getting in between the reservoir and the master cylinder.
What you can do to test the brake components is to make a "stub", consisting of a short piece of brake line that you can couple to the car's lines, having a bleed nipple and flexible bleeding tube at the other end that you can immerse in your bleed jar.
Start by checking the master cylinder, disconnect the car's line and couple on the "stub".
Work your way through wheel by wheel until you find the feed which, when capped, cures your problem. Whatever lies downstream of test "stub" is the source of your problem.
