After serching the net for brake plumbing I have found about 10 different answers. I have a dual power master cyl mounted under the floor. I have dics fronts and drums rear. What I need to know in what order does the valves and switch go from the master cyl. Such as to the rear drums from the master cyl to a brake light switch to residual valve to adj. proportioning valve to drums or? and master cyl to residual valve to metering valve to disc?In this order ? What I have found on the net for the same setup is alot of different valve combinations.

Thanks Randy Brannon

Here's a link to very knowledgeable folks on brake systems, once on this page, at the bottom of the text, click the link for "typical system............." you'll see a diagram. http://www.ecihotrodbrakes.com/brake_facts.html

If you're using an inline switch, mount it in either line shortly after it exits MC so that lights activate as soon as pedal moves.

Thanks Bob. I knew if I asked here I would get the right answer!
