More than likley your coolant crossflow tube or the banjo bolts are clogged if you can't get the air out. The best way to bleed these cars when they are clogged is to get the front end up in the air and bleed it that way. My crossover tube was clogged and when I tried to bleed mine I had the same problems with it trapping air in the system. When I put in my 383 i made sure that damn crossflow pipe was clear and it bleed so easy. Car was level and all you have to do is just fill it and start it and top it all off. The crossflow pipe is a real pain in the *** to get to and a bigger pain in the *** if it's clogged. I am a cheap bastard so I spent a week working on that thing and the banjo bolts with brake cleaner, carb cleaner, compressed air and a dremel just because I was too damn cheap to buy another. I did have to buy new seals for the banjo bolts. Most guys go to home depot and buy fittings and to the auto parts stores for rubber line to replace the crossover pipe. I think you can still buy them though. Not sure what it costs though.
