Default Abs brake light nightmare plz help

I cannot get the abs light to clear. At the start of all of this my brake booster and wheel cylinders were bad. That didn't change anything so I started throwing parts on it. I've also replaced: both calipers and pads, sensor on differential, drum shoes and springs and master cylinder. I am gonna check on Monday and adjust the sensor in diff because my speedo stopped working too when I changed that. Any other ideas? Thanks

You know I didn't even look at that being a new master cylinder and all but that's not it. It is all the way up.

Get your speedo working first before spending money on other stuff. Things connected into the speedo circuit are \; VSS, RABS (ABS) module (behind the glove box), ABS equalizer (on the frame), Cruise Control Unit, and the Speedo.
So having the speedo malfunctioning and the ABS light on - both connected - seems indicative of a connected issue.
