C5 Master Cylinder Questions

[amargari]

I am installing a C5 Master Cylinder into my 2nd gen with C5 brakes in front and LS1 rear brakes. I am also using a Summit Prop Block with is an Adjustable Proportioning Valve And Distribution Block all in one and have a few questions.


1. Do I use 3/16 lines from the Master to the Prop block or 1/4 for that run? I am using 3/16 from the prop block to the calipers.


2. I thought I read that the rear reservoir is for the front brakes and the front reservoir is for the rear brakes. Does anyone know for sure?


-Thanks

yes front for rear, rear for front, run 3/16ths everywhere,
i just did this with hydraboost, c5 master, etc works very well, no need for a dist block, i ran rear line thru a proportioning valve and its works perfect

X2...Jake hit the nail on the head as usual.

Thank You very much. Out of curiosity, what would happen if these were reversed?

[hotrdblder]

not sure, may not have enough volume for front calipers. easy enough to reverse.

I'm using a S10 master. Can I use 3/16" from master to the prop.valve and 1/4" from there to rear. I have new SS lines all over so I prefer to use these... Front is 3/16" so that's OK.

if you already have 1/4 you can use it, but if starting from scratch 3/16 is what should be used

I'm having the 1/4" lines front to rear from the kit i bought to the stock rear drums. No shop/ store sells SS brake lines here in Norway. To order 1 feet of SS lines will be very expensive shipped to Norway. I would like to use SS all over. Friend of mine has some SS 3/16" lines I was hoping would be OK to use from master to prop.valve.

Should be fine with 3/16". Won't effect performance or feel at all with that short of a run from the MC to the PV.
