Default Need help, bleeding brakes on a 95

I am a little embarrassed to ask about this, I have bleed brakes several times. I Crack the rear bleeder screws and no fluid comes out of either side. I replaced booster and master cylinder. It has good pedal but will not bleed. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Shawn

You would have the worst luck of the season if the ABS unit was clogged and defective.

Having two clogged flex lines in the rear at the same time would be highly unlikely as well.

You say you replaced the master. Was it for this problem, or did it happen after the replacement.
Did you do a bench bleed on it first?

I'll bet the proportional valve is out of position and not letting any fluid go to the rears. You can move it my removing the electrical connector for the switch light indicator and see if there is a recessed area. You might be able to move it if it's out of position with a small screwdriver.
