BTW, If you find or make a bleeder wrench that you can use without removing the wheel you can verify the pressure issue quickly. drive it till it starts to act up, stop. hop out and crack a front bleeder. If fluid sprays out you're getting close to a solution.

BTW II, when I yanked the brake lines off my frame yesterday I discovered a long forgotten aftermarket RPV in the line to the rears. I've owned/drove this truck since 1984, have no idea when I installed that thing. might have been when I installed the Camaro front in 93. Also no idea why it didn't cause problem with the Vette rear discs. Maybe it's bad. Everybody gets lucky once in a while.
