I torn my blazer apart last year and I just got the brake system back together. I get fluid to my rear brakes but I am not getting any fluid out of my front cylinder. I need help

Did you bench bleed the master?

Don't I need fluid to start coming out first before I remove the air with a nench bleed?

No that is what the bench bleed is for. on all the new ones I have done the master comes with plugs you put in the outlets then hold or mount the master in a vice then push the "plunger" in several times getting the air out of the master before you install.

Did you set up the proportioning valve for bleeding as outlined in the service manual?

And no on the prop valve. How does one do that

Master was rusted and pitted. New master and found out my prop valve is rusted and seized in the front. Man I'm getting tired of buying parts I already own. Anyone know a good adjustable prop valve that will bolt up using existing hardware.
