please explain regarding getting the right bore size. curious due to when I ordered mine, MP brakes had the kit for the swap stating the larger bore. pushing more brake fluid for the manual brake made sense to me. mine are front disc/rear drum and a new replacement type proportioning valve. also will an adjustable proportioning valve help with manual brake?

This is a chart from the 68 service manual. If it is correct the difference in MC bore diameters was not dictated by Manual or Power but by the Disc/Drum and Drum/Drum configurations.


All Disc/Drum combinations for this year, Power and Manual used the larger 1-1/8" bore.
