      Need Help Ordering Brake Lines

      I am running Wilwood disks front and rear and I have purchased a 7/8 Wilwood Master Cyl. I was planning on going with manual brakes and this is the master that Wilwood recommends. Is the disk/manual setup a bad idea?I am trying to buy my stainless lines and I spoke with Inline Tube this morning and they recommend a drum/manual kit with a distribution block. They do not have a disk/manual kit with a prop valve (which I originally thought was the way to go). The guy on the phone said that a manual/disk car would be scary. Am I asking for trouble with a manual/disk setup? (and I am not interested in a hydroboost system at this time).Any recommendations here? Does someone make a manual/disk line kit with a prop valve or is this not the way to go? Phil

      My 78 TA with an 81 TA 4WD is power but I T'd the fronts and have an adjustable in the rear line. I think manuals like most race cars don't have a distribution valve, maybe an adjustable prop valve only.
      Manual will only increase efort over power.

      The Wilwood system is designed to be a manual set up. As for a line kit, get the front to rear line and some raw stainless material to make your own fronts. if you use a prop valve at all (might not need to) you would use the Wilwood prop vavle and put in inline with the rear flow.

      Thanks guys. I called Inline back again, they are very helpful. As was noted in the searches that I did here, they have a very good tech line.I ended up with a front kit that includes the distribution block (they now carry the OE style block) and it comes with the bracket to mount it to the master (very cool). I will also be running the prop vale on the back line as recommended. The best news is this is all in stock and I can have it by the weekend! Phil
