Thanks for the replys!! I got a chance to test a little today(sunday morning and empty school parking lot). back brakes definitely lock up every time so i will try the proportioning valve to the rear brakes,could not get the front brakes to lock up but now i know what to expect i can control the car alot better under hard braking. thanks again Pete

Now don't forget, if your master cylinder is lower than the wheel cylinders, use residual valves. That valve I referred you to earlier works great though. Here's my valve's positioning and setup;

Here is HOW I did mine



I have the same F-100 front brakes and Ford Bronco 10.5 rear brake setup ... and my car stops GREAT ... with the valve adjusted properly. It takes a little time and a few attemps to get right ... but worth the effort.

Deuce

What do the residual valves do to the system as my brakes on the 32 feel like they have air in the system but they don't
