Which reservoir on a master cylinder on a 97 s-10 is to the front brakes?

The back reservoir is for the front and the front reservoir is for the back. Since 80percent of your stopping power is in the front brakes you need to activate them slightly before the back breaks to keep the car under control. SO, when you push on the pedal, the piston moves to allow fluid from the back reservoir to flow first. The fluid is then routed to a metering valve to ensure both sides are activated evenly and to the rear.

How do you get your back brakes to bleed?
You bleed the rear brakes the same way you bleed the front brakes. If you can't get brake fluid to come out the rear bleeders you may have a faulty master cylinder or the master was allowed to empty out the reservoir that feeds the rear and now it is air bound. Removing the master cylinder and bench bleeding the master may be what you need to do and don't let the reservoir go dry!
