Brakes..???
We have made good progress on the Chevelle Refresh...trying to finish up a few things. The car is a clone, it came with a Pontiac brake booster and master [70 model year]...Gino ordered a repro booster, master and pro valve setup for 69 with PDB.
Went to help with 'bleeding' today...he had bench bled the MC. I brought my Mite-Mac vacuum gizmo...to help the process. Rear brakes would not bleed I doubled checked the MC rod and setup, looks correct...front brakes would bleed.
Next step we disconnected rear line from the prop. valve on the driver's side frame...pushed on the pedal and hardly anything, just a few drips. Started the car to get vacuum assist, same thing. Can that valve be bad???
I'm not a brake expert, but I have never had this issue before...maybe cause I'm a Nova guy
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

**other than this, the car is looking great. Underhood detail is nice...runs pretty well [one small exhaust leak]...he is anxious to get out on the road
