The new wildwood 5 port with adjustable valve built in part number 260-11179 I have a 69 B body Dual diaphragm power booster with 73 spindles and 11.75 rotors pin type calipers off 71 charger master cly from 73 b body 1 1/32 bore I believe. I had the 2 peace E body valve the distribution block with metering valve like doctor diff sells It did not come from him. The rear brakes are locking up in a panic stop. Its rear drum with 7/8th wheel cly. I just got 2 brake pressure gauges. I want to check the pressure at the front caliper and the rear line going to the rear brakes. I want to check them at regular pedal push then slam on the brakes test. Then put in the adjustable Valve and go drive in the rain and dial it IN.

wow looks beautiful I think I am in love. Just wondering about front brake metering. Or do you just forget about it because you are dialing the rear pressure in. Thanks

Thanks I target trying to get the rear to lock just after the fronts to help keep the car from wanting to rotate. The rear bias should be set with on-road testing and I am not seeing the value of checking both front and rear pressures at the same time with a gauge. Rotor diameter, tire size and weight distribution under heavy braking [and other factors] all vary from car to car, caliper pressure is just a value at that point. The front pressure is what the front pressure is, adjust the rear. You need an m/c bore adjustment if you cannot lockup the front.
