I have started my brake upgrade this past weekend and need to know if the MC I bought is correct for what I am planning. I have the stock brake booster (72 A body), but changed to a big block vette style MC with same front and rear ports. The MC is for a power brake set up with a 1 1/8 bore. The front line is 3/16 to the line lock and the same down to the T block I put in place of the original proportioning block. So the front is complete. The rear originaly has 1/4 tube from the MC to the prop block. With the new MC, it is 3/16. From the MC it is goes 3/16 tube to adjustable prop valve, then to the main line (that I disconnected from the original prop block) which is 1/4. I need to get an adapter for that yet. Does this set up sound correct?

thanx:cheers:

MC bore size should be determined by the calipers you are running. Is this a stock setup or something aftermarket?

Your hard line sizing sounds fine for a disc/disc setup.

We've debated the hardline sizes before. I don't recall what we concluded. My stuff is all 3/16".

It was concluded that it really didn't make much of a difference for most swaps.
