so run the rears straight from the master to the wheel cyls basically. and run the line for the fronts from the master cyl, then to the line lock, out of the line lock to the fronts? the car has 7.10x15 Moroso Frontrunners.

also, the master cylinder im looking at getting is 1 1/32" bore. that sound about right?




Rear of the master goes to the fronts... front of the
master goes to the rears... I think that master will
be too big... you will have a hard pedal with no
travel to it... might try about a 15/16 master

I think it's been brought up before but I forgot what the verdict was......What happens if you would swap the lines on the master cylinder so the closest to the firewall would feed the rears and the other would feed the fronts? Any built-in bias?

With both being having the same bore, would a manual brake master cylinder offer less pedal effort than a power brake version?

really? ill have to go see the car at my uncles house, maybe try and find a number on it. i know i put a bendix on it, i just dont know which one. the pedal felt great with the master cyl on it, when it held pressure. maybe i can just rebuild the one i have? or try to find a kit to do it?

The reason for the front and rear lines is the reservoir
size... the larger is for the disc brake(a wheel
cyl is small and needs less volume as wear accures)
they are both the same size (bore) so it applies
the same pressure(simple hydraulics)
