Just replaced the entire brake system on my 1969 Chevelee but I'm unable to bleed the brakes.I bench bleed the master cylinder but still not able to get fluid to the wheels using a vacuum pump or pedal bleeding.The pin coming out of the booster seems to be the correct length and the pedal travel is correct as I moved the clevis on the pedal to the lower hole, ANY SUGGESTIONS, I'M STUMPPED.I have put two new master cylinders on that are year correct just like the booster

I've had good luck gravity bleeding. It's a little slow. Open one at a time till you get fluid. Do RR, LR, RF & last LF. Leave the master cyl lid off but make sure not to run it out of fluid. Requires no pedal movement...Joe

Thanks Joe and I just found out the problem, the metering valve was air locked, by cracking the outbound line the pumping worked, Thanks so Much
