how is it not bleeding? are you pumping the pedal fast before you started bleeding? you may have aerated the fluid, if thats the case, let it sit for a while till the bubbles calm down.

You might not have hooked the Distribution Block up properly... I think I had that problem when I did a transmission swap.
