Ok so I installed my new disc brake conversion kit on my 72 Chevelle Malibu and after removing the factory valve on the frame rail I am trying to bleed the system and can bleed the front with no problem but the rears just don't seem to bleed. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Please Help!!

Scott/Dave - Is it a 4 wheel disc, or front disc rear drums?

I just finished my conversion with all new dry lines. I used a Mityvac bleed tool to get the fluid from the master to each of the wheels, starting from the furthest to the closest. Once I knew I had fluid to the wheel I bled them the old fashion way with a buddy pumping and me under the car....seemed to work okay for me. The pedal is good and firm. The tool is only about $30 and seemed to save me some trouble.
