>> Hi,
>>
>> I am getting ready to hook up the brake lines on my truck. I have disk
>> front & drum rear with power dual master cylinder. I have an adjustable
>> proportioning valve and residual valve for both front and rear. The
>> master cylinder will be mounted under the floor.
>>
>> I am not sure how to hook up the master cylinder. There are two outlets,
>> one that normally has a 1/4" tube and is closest to the power booster,
>> and one that normally has a 3/16" line, furthest from the power booster.
>> This is a late 70's Chevy master cylinder for disk/drum combination.
>> Which one of these outlets is for the front disks and which one for the
>> rear drums?
>>
>> Also, should the residual valve for the rear go between the proportioning
>> valve and the wheel cylinders, or between the proportioning valve and the
>> master cylinders?
>>
>> Any help is greatly appreciated.
>>
>> Thanks,
>>
