Rear Brakes Won’t Bleed

Ok my 68 300 has power drum brakes, I replaced the MC and set out to bleed the rear lines.
I got almost nothing after pumping and nothing is coming through.
I’m thinking the proportioning valve has blocked the flow.
Usually there is some kind of way to reset the PV, any suggestions are appreciated.
FYI, I did bench bleed the MC and wheel cylinders are new with new rubber lines.

Oil Pressure Gauge Install

My 68 300 needs a OPG, I don’t see a sensor location.
Where can I connect the fitting for the oil line.

Carb Rebuild

My 68 300 with 440 TNT needs a carb rebuild.
The only marking is on a tag with 4428S & 3137 & 38.
On Rockauto there is a kit for a Carter that looks correct.
Can anyone verify if this is the correct kit for my car.

Blowing Out 440 Oil Filter Gasket :/

I have a 1968 440 TNT motor I’m doing a first start on.
After several attempts it would start and quickly shut down.
After a couple more attempts it blew the oil filter gasket out and 2 qts of oil on the floor.
So What’s up, and also it shuts down right after releasing the key at start up.
Thank you

C Body Floor Pans

My convertible needs pans of course, I see these from c2cfabrication.com.
They look like just flat metal, no sides. Anyone know of pans that have some vertical sides.
These are $70 each front and back.

1968 300 440 TNT Newby Questions

I saw this car on CL for $2,500 and decided I should take a look.
A small dealer took it on trade so I know nothing about it’s history.
When I looked it over it looked super complete and untouched.
It is missing the gas tank and it did have a repaint at some time.
The engine isn’t seized and in the trunk I found the air cleaner and the 440 TNT top, Surprise !
I thought my first mopar would be either a 70 GTX or any 2nd or 3rd gen Barracuda.
Well I just had to take a chance and took it home….
