Rebuilt power steering pump - system won't bleed

I thought I would save some money and rebuild the leaking power steering pump on my 350TPI. After re-installing the pump, I followed the shop manual's instructions and bled the system... or at least I tried to. After turning the wheels many many times and starting and stopping the engine, I still have bubbles in the fluid and NO power steering. It feels like the pump isn't working at all. Any suggestions?
