Little Brake Issue...

[Bullzak_83]

Need some help, does anyone have some in site why the following is happening.
Did a brake conversion on my 70 cst drum in the back disk in the front.
1.Changed out the master cylinder (old one was rusted, didn't want to take any chances.) installed a new proportional valve designed for disk/drums.
Went to bleed this morning, back brakes no problem. Bleed with no issues, front brakes not so much.
Cannot get fluid to the calipers, tried performing a vac bleed, old fashioned bleed, nothing. Its not my proportional valve, checked that, interesting fact I can disconnect the steel line from the hose going to the calipers, and get fluid, I verified the rubber hoses, and bolts going into the calipers.
None of this is making any sense,

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

It looks like the calipers are reversed sides. The bleeder should be on top.

George, GEEEZE I evan read that on-line, and looked right past the obvious. You are 100% correct, I've spent the whole day looking for the other issues, that I completely ignored the position of the bleeders... Thanks for pointing that out to me..

I was just gonna suggest that. Went through the same thing recently on a ‘67 cougar restoration Bought a front disc kit that utilized ‘94 S10 calipers. They mounted on front of the adapter brackets putting them in front of the rotor
The calipers had and R stamped on one and L on the other. So of course the R goes on right and L on left.
Problem was on a S10 they are mounted back side of rotor so opposite for this application.
I pulled my hair our for 2 days then re read the directions carefully. Bleeder up.

Good thing that the one picture showed the caliper with the bleeder pointed down.

George, you hit the nail on the head. That was the problem thanks again for noticing that.
