1987 Jeep Cherokee, Am I insane?

Well as you all know the Z is up for sale so I gotta finish the Jeep. Now its all put back together and it fired right up. Damned healthy engine. Only problem is I got air in my clutch master. I tried to bleed it. I tried to power bleed it. Still no clutch response. Any ideas on how to get this pesky air out so I can go play off road?

Nah I look at it like this.

I`m a teenage mother with a crack addict boyfriend (oil companies) I know I have to give up my baby so that she can have a good life with a nice family that will treat her well, care for her. I already turned down one kid, cash in hand cause "man thats a strait drifto machine, i gotz to has it." I told him to leave and never ever come back. I am screening the adoptive parents.

Buahaha! Well, are there any other bleeder ports besides the master & slave? Some cars (i.e. Nissan 240sx... yeah, it's not a Jeep) have a center clutch line "balance box" with a bleeder as well.

No nothing like that. Just still a lot of air. I have no clutch pedal at all. It will have to wait till I get back from camping, wither Sunday or Tuesday.

Update, Got the damned thing bled out. Had to bench bleed it. note for future reference. Runs and drives like a charm. Locked in the 4 wheel and played around the old farm. I thinks I like this jeep.
