problem bleeding back brakes

I just got finished with a 71 Nova disc brake conversion and had the same issue. I wound up having my buddy pump and hold the pedal and I bled the lines between the M/C and the prop valve, and the outlet fitting to the rear brakes. It took a lot of pumping to clear the air out of the rear lines. My Vacula bleeder was not effective, I think the prop valve limits the flow to the rear brakes quite a bit.


X2! I had the exact same issue, all new brake components from front to back to include new lines and proportioning valve. Vaccum bleeder does not work! Need a helper to pump and hold brakes or buy one of these bleeders, it works great!: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Motive-Products-Custom-Power-Bleeder/dp/B0002KM5M4"]Amazon.com: Motive Products Custom Ford Power Bleeder(0106) Ford 2 Tab: Automotive[/ame]
