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.

Did you bleed them in the correct order?

1. Front left
2. Right rear
3. Right front
4. Left rear

Let's go from there.

Unless you have someone helping you gravity bleed them. fill the res, leave the cap off open all 4 of the bleeders and let them flow. it will take a while.

And the dude above said bleed them in the correst order because eventually the fluid will come out and im not tring to insult your intelegance but you have someone helping you right? pump it hold it have them open the bleeder when the pedal is down close it, then repeat
