upgrade '67 GTO to front disk
As the title says, I'm upgrading. here's the situation:
I have a Master Cylinder that has a larger tube and fitting on the rear reservoir. The prop valve i bought from Inline Tube has the larger fitting on the front of the valve body (towards the button). The prop valve comes with no instructions, I guess they assume everyone knows about their product.... I certainly can figure out which ports on the valve go where, the 'top ones go to the MC, the front two go to the front and the larger one on the back goes to the rear. So the question is : since the larger MC line at the rear reservoir seems to match the prop valve port on the front of the valve, is this correct? I thought the front reservoir is normally the front system. George

I believe that when you have a dual M/C, the larger reservoir is for the front disc since it takes more fluid volume. In a disc, drum setup. From what I've read, sometimes the larger one can be towards the front of the car, sometimes it can be closer to the firewall. Others will surely chime in.

I believe both reservoirs on mine are the same size..... I can check later today but that's what I remember. The xsisting setup has the std distribution block with two different sized fittings so the MC can be connected in only one way.
What has me thinking is with the std drums braking is poor, such that I can easily lock up the rears with no lockup on the fronts, and am wondering if this is an incorrect MC and the tube sizes dictating the wrong connection. George

On mine the rear of the prop valve goes to the rear brake line and is a size bigger wrench wise than the front line. The front line goes into the very front of the prop valve.
