Default Rear brake bleeding: no fluid comes out when using power bleeder

Hi, i’m trying to bleed my rear brakes with a power bleeder, but my rear right caliper does not have any fluid coming out of it. I removed the rubber line, and I do not see the fluid coming out of the hard line. Any suggestions when it might be?
I bled the left caliper with no issue.

Might be clogged. Punch a pipe cleaner up it.

Update: I changed the proportioning valve, but I am still not getting fluid in the rear brake caliper. I’m thinking it is the ABS pump?

ABS and brakes are separate systems so they won't affect each other. It is also highly unlikely your ABS still works after all these years.

Thanks for the input. Maybe it’s the brake master cylinder?

If the car was stopping properly the MC is working fine. The problem is with the line. Maybe it's blocked inside or kinked. Trace it out and see what you find

Update: fixed the issue by doing an abs delete. I used the Valex racing kit.
