Brake issue

Well, let's get the good thing out of the way.
Replaced the valvecover gasket since it was leaking all over the manifold and I found..... no sludge! WOO! GO ME!
Back on track, the pedal has been randomly going to the floor on me, pump it and it grabs, just not like it should, but she stops.
Here's the kicker, When the pedal drops to the floor and i push it down about 1/4 inch more, the brakes engage, but pull fairly hard to the right.
Today, I bled the brakes, as well as sucking the old fluid out of the reservoir and nothing, stops a bit better if the pedal doesn't drop, but that's it.
My bet is the Master cylinder but I'm not %100. I don't wanna go buy a $130 part and it not be it.
On a side note, christ the boosters for these cars are pricey, $368, ouch!
