Now if you ran the master dry and you have air it it that is another issue.
84/85 factory MC's came with bleeders which should work. But there have been exceptions. If it does not you need to do one of these procedures.

1- bench bleed the master either by removing it and doing it in the vise or doing it in the car.
This next one can be done but can be tricky
2- open all 4 bleeders
2a- press the pedal to the floor quickly, hold it there
2b- close all bleeders
2c- release pedal slowly
repeat as needed.
(really helps to have 2 people on this one, can be done by one but is not fun. Trust me I know)
