Do you have a factory proportioning valve? It could be stuck in front only mode.

Do you have disc or drum brakes rear? If drum you need a 10# residual valve.

You would be surprise how much fluid it takes to fill new, dry brake lines...I would just crack all the bleeders and let gravity do the work while keeping an eye on the fluid level in the MC...

I have good luck with a vacuum bleeder. Also have a Motive pressure bleeder but doesn't fit the Wilwood master.

I do this method especially when dealing with all new components, crack all bleeders, and keep the master topped off, wait for fluid to come out of all the bleeders (sometimes this takes a while, I have had it take a half hour plus) then close all the bleeders and do the normal brake bleed procedure to be sure.
