Isolate the problem.
Disconnect the line going to the rear and block off it's hole in the 4 way
with a bolt.
Now you have just the master and the front brakes. Bleed it.
If everything is OK then you know the problem is in the rear.
Do the above and get back to us...

Subject: [Spridgets] brakes
I am sooo frustrated.A while back I posted that I was having trouble
bleeding the brakes on my 1959 bugeye.I have nearly completed the
resto and STILL cannot get the brakes to work.I realized today that
the previous owner had the brake reservoir connected to the clutch
slave and the clutch reservoir connected to the 4 way brake
connection.I switched these,bench bled both the clutch and the brake
master cylinders and tried once more to bleed the brakes.Nada,no
bubbles,nofluid,nothing.I am guessing I have dirt in the lines and/or
a bad master cylinder?I have been bleeding the left rear,right
rear,left front,right front.What's next?
