Thanks guys - really appreciate the help. This is the barn find and will just be a street car.

Looked over the rubber hose sections in the back and they don't seem collapsed - also opened up a fitting before the rubber hose - no fluid.

Tracked the lines and don't see anything crushed.

The mystery to me is this is a closed system so what could get in there and stop it up? Congealed brake fluind?

Figure I'll take the line off the master cylinder and off the back of the calipers and try some compressed air from the master cylinder side. Would that damage ABS? I want to leave that working.

I don't know where to hunt for a stock proportioning valve - that's been on my mind - some kind of valve being stuck. Where would I look for that? I haven't been up underneath the front yet - been working my way from the back to the front.


Got a total of $2200 into this car now - magnetic numbers are just for fun.

Thanks again for any suggestions.
