Default power brakes don't work after new motor

just put in a 408 with a 246/250 .632 111+4 cam and my power brakes haven't worked since I put the engine in.

all vaccum lines are hooked up (I think). I bled the front brakes but not the back. the pedal is VERY stiff and doesn't go down far, but the brakes themselves do work.

not sure where to look or how to troubleshoot this... help please!

ok, fixed it. it was the check valve on the end of the line that plugs into the booster.

I was afraid it was because of the cam...
