Sounds like the master or the slave cylinder could be bad.

Or you bled it improperly. Make sure to hold the pedal down before closing the bleed on the slave cylinder. If everything works out, it is either the slave or the throwout bearing cylinder. Unfortunately, if it is the TO bearing you have to remove the transmission.

You likely have air in the system--it takes very little air to cause the pedal to go to the floor. Try to get a pressure bleeder, if you can. Otherwise, try a CalVan One-Man Bleeder. Since Ford uses concentric hydraulic slave cylinders, which are located inside the transmission, you have to persevere. Take the cap off the clutch master cylinder reservoir and tap any bends in the line and see if any air bubbles come to the surface. Good bleeding technique is a must and it may take some time--don't give up!

I was just thinking about this....what made you try to bleed it in the first place? Did you replace something or did you suddenly have a low pedal?
