Master Cylinder Questions

[Apogee]

The "stop light control" is typically a pressure switch, so if you wanted to trigger your brake lights with it, you could. Wilwood offers something similar on their distribution block with adjustable proportioning valve, 260-11179, however we suggest plugging that port with a plug since most muscle car applications are much better off using an electro-mechanical switch on the brake pedal assembly as they tend to be more reliable. Aditionally, if the pressure switch fails, it can cause a leak in your brake hydraulic system, which is not a risk that we suggest anybody take unnecessarily.

Nothing against the MCPV-1 concept, however I prefer separate components since it can make troubleshooting any given system that much easier when you can easily isolate the various components, but that's just my personal bias. Simpler is generally better IMHO.
