Thanks for all the help folks.

(Yes..I bled the master cylinder).

The proportioning valve is the one that has both front and back lines going to it?

Yes, the square one. The round one is the hold off valve.

my car was equipped with a brake hold-off valve. Its a little "L" shaped fitting on the frame rail underneath the drivers door. It allowed the front brakes to apply a split second before the rear. Something else to check if the prop. valve doesn't fix it.

I did too, but I guess I screwed it up the first time and had to learn the hard way. I was just getting a drip out of the rears until i did it again and then the brake fluid came out nicely.

I wonder if you could bleed it through the master and prop, just to see how the flow is through the valve. Just a thought.

I decided that I would get a bew distribution valve and a new hold off valve before attempting this again.

I checked the rear lines very carefuly..they all look to be in excellent condition.

I'm hoping to get better results with new valve componenets.
