That is incorrect.
I'll agree but the OP appears to have all the answers having done thousands of brake jobs throughout his professional career. "NOT his first RODEO". OK I'm done here.

For those leaning towards the prop valve, here is the section where the manual clearly states its for metering pressure to the rear brakes to prevent lockup.
I have done this swap several times with great success, I'm starting to think I have a defective master since the rest of the system looks to be up to snuff. Stranger things have happened. I have a lightweight manual master with adapter on my Dart, I'll try swapping it and see what happens.

Don't be surprised if your Otterzone rebuilt calipers are junk. I had the same issue on my old Duster and ended up changing calipers.
Had the same experiences with an AZ master. Took 3 of them to get a good one.

Gdonovan you sure are handling the haters on here much better than I would (or have) . It's always a pain when peoples' Mammas dont tuck em in at night then we have to deal with their attitudes. After rereading your OP, with the line lock in the line to the front discs when it's on the pedal is rock solid which tells me that the M/C is good (& it was before) & the rear drum half is good & that the problem is downstream from the line lock which is the front discs. I bet it is the calipers & rebuilt ones are cheap. Keep us updated

yes,1/8 travel seems far too much.perhaps using a spacer position those pistons further out and re assemble?
Spacer??? Maybe your forgetting how a disc brake caliper work If your pistons are retracting 1/8" that's way to far. Like I stated before the seals are pulling the pistons back to far. They should only retract far enough to let the rotor spin without touching.

Swapped the calipers from Duster <---> GTX, noted the Duster had steel pistons while the GTX had the phenolic resin units. Both calipers had 3699963 part number cast into the back of the drivers side unit.
No road test tonight, have to be up at some ungodly hour of the morning to pull a third shift fire drill. Dinner, Justified and bed!
