brakes on the 79 v6

[OrionBrazeal]

alright so I had replaced the master cylinder and brake booster on the 79. then was bleeding the brakes. the front are good. no problems good pressure too. but the rear. I had nothing no flow of fluids nothing. I think somthing might be up witht he lines or somthing maybe. they might also just be the bleeder screws. i took them off and they wouldnt let nothing go threw them. so I am going to replace them. what odd though is I didnt have jack for fluid coming out the wholes though.

Anouther question is how far do you put the screw back in to the rear drums? one will seat all the way down to the hex head. the other one goes in and stopped like 1 cm in. Any help is great. thanks guys.

sounds like the lines are plugged. I dont understand the last part

where the bleeder screw screws into the rear of the drums. one side screws all the way down and the other once only screws intot he back about one centimeter(not all the way in)

thought the lines might be clogged. guess I need to hunt down some new lines. I remebered someone saying get some 87+ lines for it so now to hunt down the right ones.

Take the lines loose at both ends and use compressed air to blow through one end and see what comes out the other side. As far as the wheel cylinder bleeder screws being clogged, you could probably just clean them out with some brake clean, or just get new wheel cyls , they are pretty inexpensive. Hope that helps some.
