Bleed your system again. Manual brake systems dont have proportioning valve, they have distrubition blocks..

Properly set up(adjusted and bled) should have a rock hard pedal 1/4 to 1/3 of peddle travel from top
I'd agree with that...
Describes mine...
DOT 5 fluid...Shoes adjusted...
I bleed from the furthest point back...

The sequence Cab recommended sounds backwards to me as well, but I recently heard/read somewhere else to do it that way. I always start furthest from the MC and work my way closer and I've never had a problem.
Pedal should be rock hard only slightly depressed, as described. You will never get these things anywhere near the floor once all setup correctly and bled.

I'm stumped. All new hard lines, soft lines, wheel cylinders, and on a second master cylinder from Summit. I pulled a rubber line on the front and was able to draw a solid line of fluid from the hard line; I then placed the rubber line in a container and was able to pull solid fluid through it. I put it back together and I can only get a trickle from the front bleeder screws. I can't imagine I need a thread sealer on the bleeder screws! Is it possible there is an issue with the junction block not working correctly? After all of this I still have to pump the brakes multiple times to build any pressure, it makes 0 sense. When I bled the rear I was able to pull solid fluid, at least one side. There are no leaks yet I can't pull a solid line at the front wheels. F'n baffled.
