When you open your bleeder, do you have fluid coming out? If not, you may have the same issue I had. You'll need to somehow pressure bleed or vacuum bleed the system. I used the harbor freight brake pneumatic brake bleeder kit. I completely took off the bleeder valve on the howe slave cylinder. Then I put the vacuum fitting over the hole to suck the fluid through the slave. After I did that, fluid would flow normally like a gravity bleed.
Then I was able to get pressure in my pedal.
