Ok, 
 
Dumb question, but by any chance have you taken off the front calipers?  I accidentally mixed mine up when I took them off to paint, and put them back on the wrong sides.  This put the bleeder at a higher point than should be.  Let's just say I couldn't get them to bleed, and it took me longer than I want to admit to figure it out.

Can't figure this out.  Have disks on the front (early camaro) and stock drums on the rear.  Installed a new  8" brake booster and master cylinder, and a Tilton prop, valve on the rear brakes.  After bleeding the brakes I still can't get sufficient pressure to the fronts even with the rears restricted 100% (valve all the way in) to get acceptable front braking. 
 
The front calipers are single piston.  It all worked before I installed the booster.  It has good vacuum.
 
Any suggestions? Copy Dave
