Replaced Master Cylinder and now can't get the fluid to flow 700

All,

I've just done a thorough brake job on the Brick ('88 740) and ended up replacing the master cylinder because it seemed to be sticking (which it was upon further investigation).

I also replaced the front left caliper in this whole process, so I realize there may be a considerable amount of air in the lines. However, during the bleeding process I haven't been able to get either air or fluid to come out of either of the front caliper bleed screws.

I have the reservoir topped off and the level hasn't dropped at all during the bleeding and now I'm stumped as to what the problem might be. The pedal still travels to the floor, although it does give much better feedback than before the MC replacement.

I've heard there might be a reset of the switch in the distribution box required, but I'm not sure how that'd help. If anyone can help me out here I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,
Stealhome
