Is the behavior/lack of fluid the same at both rear calipers?
If so, it could be the rear flex hose or the proportioning valve.
Start at the rear, and crack the fittings one by one until you find
fluid. This will lead you to the problem.
If it is only one caliper, it could be a clogged bleeder screw.

Sounds like the rear flex line is clogged/collapsed. I'd replace
all of the flex lines..

Hey Folks-
Hoping to be able to DRIVE my '67 Duetto to the convention and
thought I
should bleed the brakes. It's an ATE system with no booster. I was
getting
binding in the drivers side rear caliper and went to bleed the
brakes. As
soon as I released pressure with the bleed screw/hose/bottle combo,
the pedal
went to the floor and I can't seem to move any fluid with the
pedal. You can
pump all day and nothing happens. Fresh fluid in the resevoir and a
helper
pumping the brakes and nothing. I switched to my mitivac and I'm
able to suck
dribbles out, but it would take days at that rate. I'll try moving
to the
front to see if that helps, but I'm at a loss. Any thought?
Thanks, Steve
