Default 2003 Civic -New clutch won't engage

2003 Civic - New clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, master cylinder, and slave cylinder. Bled with vacuum bleeder. No leaks, no air bubbles left, clean new fluid. Pedal goes to floor, slave cylinder does not push fork. I even put old clutch back in and had same problem... I'd pull my hair out if I had any left...

make sure the clutch pedal has only 1/2 inch of clutch free play, then bleed again

Thanks for the reply. It ended up being my own %&@#* fault.... I switched from using a hand operated vacuum bleeder pump to a pneumatic bleeder. With the pneumatic I should have bled with the pedal up. Must have had a small air bubble in the input port of the master cylinder. I must have gone through a fifth of bourbon before it dawned on me.... Oh well, at least the drinks were good. Thanks for the help.
