Front brakes won't bleed

Im trying to get my 88 trans am back on the road. It has been sitting for almost 20 years and now after new paint and ls swap the last thing is the brakes. It has all the factory parts with disk rear. The rears bled fine but I am not getting anything out of the front lines when I try to bleed them. I had the k member out when I did the paint and swap and had to replace the passenger side line but everything worked fine last time I drove it. I am sure the pedal was depressed while there wasn't any fluid in it so is there a way to reset the dist block or do I need to replace it?

Bench bleed the M/C. If that doesn't do the trick then replace the front brakes flex hoses.
