another possibility, is there any chance you got the front calipers switched left to right? Surprisingly, they will bolt right up, but the bleed screw is at the bottom of the caliper and there is no way to get all of the air out. This happened to me during the restoration, I had disassembled the suspension completely and the pistons were frozen in the caliper. I took them to my mechanic shop who unfroze them, unfortunately they got put in the wrong crates and then put back on the wrong side. From these posts I know I am not the only idiot to have scratched his head trying to figure out why the brakes wouldn't bleed.

Good Luck
