Default Problem w/bleeding rear brakes - '95

Hey all, hope you can help me out.

I just finished installing new (rear) calipers, pads, rotors on a 1995 Taurus. (the fronts were done a couple months ago). Mostly went smooth, but when it came to bleeding the brakes I have come to a perplexing problem - I can't seem to get them to bleed.

I have never run into this problem before, using the traditional two-person method. No fluid leaks noticed, and the level in the reservoir is not dropping when I try to bleed them. I pulled the rubber lines off at the calipers and some fluid does dribble out when I pump the brakes. I'm not sure if fluid should squirt out or if they are possibly clogged?

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Did you check the "Bronco Graveyard"? Have rear setups, although Im not sure a 8.8 is enough for 500 HP. May want to look into a 9" swap.

The problem mysteriously went away a long time ago. I never did find anything wrong with the choke or vacuum leaks. Strange but true.
