  Agree with Dan, that some rebuilders do a better job than others.   But also, while you have it apart, check that your parts are compatible.   The only thing that I can think of would be a mismatch between the push rod & M/C.   And I don't think that it would go together with incorrect parts....but it might.   Also are you using the correct push rod hole in the brake pedal assembly?     There might also be other things that could effect longevity.

I installed one on my car during the restoration process that went bad before I even had a chance to drive the car. It really threw me because you expect a new part to work. I would try a different brand. Maybe one of the companies out there is doing a better rebuild job than the rest. 
Make sure you bench bleed the MC before you install it.

It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize you are in a hurry

Looking  for some advice/help regarding the master cylinder on my
Chevelle. I've had the car for three years now and have gone thru 3
master cylinders in that time. The original one lasted about a month 
after I bought the car. The replacement one lasted about 10 months. The
replacement for the replacement lasted about a year and half. It is a
little nerve wracking taking the car out for a drive on a Sunday and
wondering if the brakes will fail!! Any advice will be greatly
appreciated.
