If I had to guess I would say its like a problem I ran into with some older cars. The proportioning valve tripped and wont let the fluid past it to bleed it out. Can be a big pain in the ***. You may try getting one of the bleeder kits where you can pump the fluid out vs pushing the pedal but I dont think that would help if its what I think it is.

Did you try running the car while you were bleeding brakes? That was the only way i could get the valve to open on mine. With the OBD1 cars that is the only way with out a tech tool. and that is how i bleed my brothers 94, my friends 93. So give that a shot and let me know.

I have never had a problem bleeding the Brakes out on my Car, and I have done it a few times. I upgraded to the LS1 Brakes, that might be a difference..

master could have died crack the fitting on the master and step on it to see if you have flow. It is possible the master and abs unit are just full of air.
