[Shotimes] Help with Brake Bleeding

[mhelpinstill]

Thanks.  A restricted brake line is possible.  The car is a '94 and I live
in the Northeast, which means most of the metal brake lines are all rusted -
I will check this tomorrow.  Already tried opening the bleeder valve a few
turns - didnt make a difference.
