I always used the 1 man bleeder from the parts store with good luck. Are you following the directions from wilwood? Not being a smart alleck but I had to read the steps when I did mine. Since they have 4 bleeders on the calipers.

Is the master cylinder new? I had one go bad out of the box. Try opening all the bleeders and try gravity bleeding. Other than that re bench bleed the master and move on again.

I would bleed the MC by itself then put a brass plug in one side of the MC & hookup the other half & bleed it out then hook up the other half. A problem area that has snagged me in the past is not having the bleeder screws tightened enough & air being drawn back in. My procedure,crack bleeder screw,helper pushes pedal down 7/8 & hold, I tighten screw,have helper let up pedal.

Bad Boy you might grab 2 brass plugs at your parts house & cap off the MC & if it's good (& bled out) the pedal will be rock hard & virtually no travel, then hookup one half of the system & get it bled. This helps narrow down where the problem is. You might put a block of wood of the proper thickness under the pedal so your helper wont push the cups past their normal wear area which might hasten their demise. A small detail but I get anal about these things & it lets your helper easily keep the pedal motionless until you close the bleeder.

Maybe I will just make up some lines to bleed it with.
Just make some that loop into the MC bowls and you can bleed it on the car. Keep pumping till there are no bubbles and then a few more for Murphy.
