I'm going to try to go into detail from what I remember.
To start, my car always had stock bmc and front 30mm Z32 calipers w/ ss lines. I did the rear ebrake set up with z32 calipers. I bought SS rear lines and after everything was bolted on(bleeders are all facing up), I installed a used 1" bmc that looked brand new on my existing booster. I then bench bled the bmc and started off bleeding from there.
After trying for a while, the front calipers wouldn't bleed and bleeders were completely dry(checked to see if they were clogged, ran a needle through them to be sure) and then I began again. Rear Z32 calipers work great but fronts don't do anything. I ended up rebuilding the front calipers and finding out the 1" wasn't working. I currently just put in a used AcDelco replacement bmc(1 1/16) and tried again(I have a brand new bmc on the side but I need the fitting so I didn't install yet btw). Now I did feed the front bleeders fluid and the fronts are now bleeding but the pistons on the front aren't functioning still.
I need help. What am I overlooking?
Cliff notes:
Installed rear z32 ebrake assembly, including calipers
Bench bled bmc
Rear's work, fronts don't grab(pistons stay in same position)
Tried another bmc, old one wasn't doing anything and I'm still in the same boat with the exception of the fronts bleeding but pistons aren't going anywhere.
