Re: [FWDLK] Brake Conversion

[Dave Stragand <Dave.Stragand@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, not all dual m/c's are necessarily made for discs.  When they
switched to duals in 1967 or so by federal mandate, the majority of cars
were still drum/drum.  That's why the '68 Roadrunner drum/drum m/c works
so well.

Not necessarily. With disc brakes you need a check valve along with the
proportioning valve. You may be able to get away without the
proportioning valve, but as the mechanic said (and others have too) if
the cylinder is not matched you have problems. Don't forget, most
(probably all)  double master cylinders are made for discs and the
pressure ratio is not the same. The valve will allow you to tune front
to back Mike
