Angry 87 Lesabre Brakes don't bleed after self install of the master cyl

I bench bleed the MC and installed it on the booster and could not get the right rear and left front to bleed.
I read how there may be a safety feature in the MC that provides protection in the event of line failure. You were to select a pair of wheels, either both front or both rear, open the bleeders and give the pedal a slam to reset the safety feature. It seemed to work when the front bleeders were released but by the time I got to the rears the right rear still failed to even let out a burp.
In the old days you could just slao a bench bled MC and start at the farthest wheel bleeder and bleed away.
I just can't figure out what I'm missing here. Sure could use some guidance here.
