I've replaced master cylinder for my 72 Cutlass. Atempted to bleed right rear first I get not fluid. I have taken bolt out and made sure it's clean but still no fluid flow. I checked right front and I do have flow. Any suggestions??

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder?

If you use the search function there are probably at least 12-15 threads on here that I believe would cover every possible situation.

Remove the bleeder screw and poke in the hole in the wheel cylinder with a piece of solid copper wire. If the hole is blocked with rust, replace the wheel cylinder. If not, replace the hose.

Update... new set of wheel cylinders and master cylinder, ran 21/2 cans of fluid through until clear. Bleed, until got all air out, stopped showing.... went for a ride with booster brakes seemed to worked ok, but had hardly any brake pressure? Push peddle to floor and stopped. Not sure what that means??
Also it appears front fluid is going into back bowl. Assume it is shoot over top? But after short ride front bowl down and back bowl over flowing when I opened top.

Any thought on my 2 issues. Pedal pressure and fluid levels?.
