Default Re-did brake lines....fluid only goes to 1 wheel??????

I re-did all my brake lines since the car is stripped down now and I only seem to get brake fluid going to the rear drivers side wheel. I've got all the lines going to the proportioning valve just like they're supposed to, no leaks at any of the fittings, and no crazy bends that would block flow. When I press the brake in I get flow going through the lines going to the proportioning valve which I know because of having to redo the fittings. Can a proportioning valve block fluid flow? Somebody hook me up with some knowledge because this whole thing was a nightmare to begin with.

How do you know that you are only getting fluid to the Drivers right?
Have you bled the whole system really well. If the whole system was drained it could take quite a bit of fluid to get all of the air out.

Im not sure about this but I think you need to get the fuild past the check valve.
You may need to press the brake and hold it...loosen the bleeder to let the air out and re tighten it...take your foot off the brake, wait a couple seconds...repeat the process

He is right... it will take a long time. My four wheeler took about 15-20 to prime.
