    Hello there friends! Hope your weekend is turning out better than mine... so i picked up a 1950 plymouth special deluxe like 3-4 months ago. It was garage kept but in need of some love. I got it home and have been working on getting it running. Once i got all that settled up i moved on to the brakes...this is where my problem lies. I am no sttanger to bleeding brakes but what a headache im having. I tryed doing it with the original master cylinder, no luck. Back 2 bled and i got to the front no fluid . Bought a new one, seemed okay. Back 2 bled nice and i got to the front NOTHING!!! Blew out lines and tried again...NOTHING!!! what am i doing wrong or missing!?!? PLEASE HELP!!!

    Could there be a distribution block or proportion valve somewhere that is bad?

    I am starting to think so. I ended up replacing all the the front brake cylinders and flex lines. I blew air through the hard lines to the front seemed clear. Now as i start to bleed the brakes yet again, i get fluid to the front left and nothing on the right. I need to figure this out its driving me bananas.
