RE: Brakes

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

JJ is right,

The large chamber goes to the front, the small (front) chamber goes to 
the rear brakes.

Years ago I put the Stainless Steel disc brake kit on my 64 and that is 
how it is piped and that is per the tubing and directions they sent.

>From what I have read drum brakes use a residual pressure device in some 
master cylinders, if piped wrong it will give the problem you are 
having.
