Like the title states im having trouble bleeding the brakes on my 70 swinger. I originally had drum/drum and swapped to the Kelsey hayes setup off a 69. My calipers are new, all new brake lines, new distribution block and proportioning valve from inline tube and brand new raybestos master cylinder everyone seems to love for these cars. I originally had the standard master cylinder and had weak pressure to the fronts and swapped to the raybestos and easy bleeders for the front.
I bench bled the master cylinder and installed to the car. Pushed pedal a couple times and went to bleed the rear brakes. No pressure at all to either rear. I pulled out the 70 service manual and it states to bleed front disc first then move to RR and then LR. So I tries that. I have great pressure to the front calipers steady strong stream of fluid. Still nothing to the rear. I disconnected joint at distribution block and have fluid coming out of the line. Disconnected line between distribution block and proportioning valve and no fluid. I have come to the conclusion the distribution block is not performing correctly. Is there a way to reset the distribution block? Confused where to go from here. I have never had problems bleeding brakes before.
