well there's a hydraulic distribution box (%60 front, %30 to the rear is it?) about midway down line rarely do they ever "go bad". but it's possible.

i can't see how your lines are run so i don't know (kinda doubt) the distribution box could clog the front

maybe clogged or bent lines ?

start at master cyclinder, see it pumps fluid by hand, then that the line connected up to caliper isn't clogged, hand pump see if it comes out, finally caliper if fliud is not blocked or cyl fronzen, in it btw do your brakes "drag" on your rotor? do you wheels spin real nice and easy ? unsure if there's a horse sense way to avoid soem of that

all said and done: yup you'll probably have to bleed the breaks again at least once

abs can "be involved" but for safety reasons there si a cutout which insures if you break it cannot "block breaking" (it lets pedal pushing through if it's not working)

also break booster has outer inner part. some companies put a plastic valve INSIDE a booster vacuum line (hard to see for obvious reasons) i kinda doubt chevy does. sqeeze lines if you must

thanks for the reply but I found one of the metal lines to the front brakes had a pin hole in it letting it catch air
