Default Master cylinder problem????

I just swap a 91 crx rear disc on my 89 si hatch, got a propotioning valve from a 91 integra,and change the master cylinder that came from 90 civic EX 15/16. I started bleeding from the right rear then went to the left front, but when I went to the left rear and started bleeding there was no fluid coming out. M/C is full of fluid..I'm so pissed right now and don't know what to do . Do you guys think it's the master cylinder or the propotioning valve? It's my first time swaping a brake..

start from the MC and loosen fittings and bleed, then go to the prop valve and bleed all the ins and outs. then start with the brake farthest from the MC and work your way in, pass rear, driver rear, pass front, driver front. keep filling the mc each time you bleed.

Is it possible you have the wrong MC/Booster combo. Last summer I had an ABS Integra Booster on a non-ABS Integra MC and it wouldn't let me bleed the pass front/driver rear circuit of the car. I bled it probably 20 times, nothing ever came out. I changed the booster to the non-ABS and magically it worked fine.

I found the problem! I removed the two lines on the M/C and when I pumped the pedal there was no fluid coming out of the front port.. Bad M/C
thanks for the input guys!!
