Finally got it done. I bet we pumped the clutch and bled that thing for 3 hours. Went through 2 quarts before it took off. We ended up using compressed air blowing into the hole in the cap for the reservoir. Carefully. Gravity bleeding wasn't doing it, pumping the brakes wasn't doing it either. We needed air to force those air bubbles down and out before they had a chance to float up the line again. I was ready to give up on it many times. Then all of a sudden, bam, there was pressure at the pedal. Took a load off my mind.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
