Brakes??

[Lance]

Working with a 1980 Ford F100 Front Disk Rear Drum. I am not getting Any Fluid to the Rear Brakes I am to the Front but not the Back. New Master Cylinder, New Proportion Valve and new Wheel Cylinders in the rear. I don’t have a Vacuum pump but am getting one. When I put the new Valve on I was getting Fluid to one Side then when to go bleed the other side Nothing. Went back to the one side that was getting fluid it Stopped. Am going a bit crazy not sure what else to check. The back brakes has a brake hose that splits the fluid from the front to the two lines in the back am going to replace that since I think its as old as the truck is. but if any one has suggestions Please would like to hear them.

try gravity bleeding it. fill the master cylinder full, open the bleeder valves on the brakes you don’t have fluid going too, and set and wait and see if fluid starts to come out of the bleeder valves.
