proportioning valve is stuck,try hitting the brake as hard as you can a few times this may free it up.check for kinks in the line farther up.also rubber lines like to rot on the inside and will swell shut and you cant see it.Had that happen before

Make sure that the brake line isn't kinked or plugged. If there is a proportioning valve and this has been exposed to air, it needs to be replaced. The moisture in the air will have contaminated it by now, and cause it not to work. I would strongly consider replacing the brake caliper at this point too, as this is also ruined by now. Hope this helps.

try bleeding the rear brakes with the straight axel were it would be if it had tires on and on the ground. there should be a valve with linkage running from the axel to the valve
to detect when the car is in an emergecy stop and shuts off brake fluid to the rear so the tires don't lock up and you lose
control of the car.

The master cyl. must be bench bled before installation.
Remove the cap, open the bleeder on the caliper, depress the pedal several times. Allow the fluid to drip until no air is visible. DO NOT allow the MC to run dry.
Tighten bleeder & refill the MC
Good Luck
