I
agree with the statement that you don't want to skimp on the braking system. It
doesn't matter a hill of beans how much or little you paid for the car, or if
it's a daily driver or even if you can't drive it for a while until the brakes
are fixed right. Lives are not worth risking.
Test
what you can for functionality, ask the local parts store if they can test the
master cylinder for you, and if anything looks original or worn, get it
rebuilt or a new one. If you have to put it on blocks until you can get it done
right, do it.
Just
my shade tree opinion.

Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Brake Problems
I can blow throught them, but have not tried to blow back the other side.
Keep in mind i have disconnected the rubber line and cannot get any fluid throught the metal line.
Is there a way to flush the system or clean it out without replcaing the whole braking system

The rubber brake hose will expand with age but the outside will look ok and
the inside closes up. They can get so tight that fluid will not return
through the hose after the brakes are applied
