Hey all. My car is a 71 Swinger with the mighty /6. Front brakes are 73 disc rear is an 8 3/4. I got my ride out the other day and noticed the rear tires kept spinning when I hit the brakes. I tried to bleed them but I get no fluid out of them at all. Could my proportioning valve have gone bad? If so, where's the best place to get a replacement? Thanks.
 
While having a friend pump the brakes I loosened the bleeder valve and nothing happened. The peddle don't move, no air, no fluid, nothing. I went to the block on the rear end, broke it lose pumped brakes and still nothing. I moved to the MC, pump brakes and fluid come out. I have not tried bleeding at the the proportioning valve yet but that's next on the list. I guess thatwill tell me if the valve is bad?
 
The rubber line before the block mounted on the rear is still most likely.
Break it loose at the end where it attaches to the chassis mounted metal line.
 
Redfish: That was the first thing I tried. From there I went to the master cylinder. Got pressure out of rear brake there. So my next stop will be the valve.
