84 camaro. I couldn't get the old calipers to bleed so I figured it was them. I replaced them and now the new ones will not bleed either. I replaced the master cylinder and still nothing. No fluid comes out of bleeder. I even disconnected the line from the caliper and still no fluid.

My brake Pedel is also too hard to even press. You can't even push it down an inch when the car is off. With the car on and idling it moves a little but it still is too hard and still no fluid coming from lines.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

You have an obstruction in the lines somewhere. Just for giggles, bust loose the fitting on the FRAME side of the front flex lines and step on the pedal again. See if fluid doesn't come out at that fitting. Those flex lines can sometimes suffer catastrophic internal failure and plug up even though they don't look too bad externally.

If you still got nothing then the problem is obviously further up. But if it's just some obstructed flex line(s) then it's a cheap fix to replace them.

Also visually scan the hard lines and look for a kink or pinch somewhere.

Yea I did this already. Still no fluid wen Pedel is pressed. I'm thinking it's where the line goes into the square block right under the master cylinder?

Sounds kinda like a booster problem, booster may be bad. or could have a leak to the vacuum hose going to the booster or bad check valve.

Would that cause the Pedel to not even move when the car is off?

Not a expert but I believe so, as I disconnected the vacuum hose from my booster before, and forgot that I did so. Started the car up and pushed on the brakes it was really hard to push and pretty much no brakes. It got worse also the more I pushed on them.

Kinda weird though as some fluid should flow out of the line still. So maybe you do have a obstruction some where

Damn this is killing me. Guess I'll test my booster for now. See what i come up with

It's not uncommon to have obstructions in the flexible rubber lines.

Not the booster. No booster will certainly increase the effort on your foot, but wont stop fluid flow. You dont need your engine running to bleed the brakes.
