Might want to try bench bleeding your master cylinder, since you had it all apart and reconditioned.
All the parts turned out great!!

If you have the piston style proportioning valve, it may have tripped from pressurizing the rears and has cut off fluid to the front.

I think that may be my problem - I bench bled the master last night with no issues, but still no fluid to the front calipers. I stopped by a friends shop this morning on the way in and borrowed a tool to re-center the valve and will try that tonight.

Thanks
