Shouldn't the fluid flow easily through the master cylinder if the clutch is fully out? Could there be a blockage in the master cylinder itself? Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful at this point.

As an aside, the clutch was smooth and worked well in the donor car. Can these things dry out or seize up if not used regularly?

Dave,
Loosen up your clutch rod to add a little bit of free play to the pedal.
This allows fluid to enter the chamber.
