The wheel cylinder expander spring coils were not used on the early Fords.
There use and exclusion of a check valve in the master cylinder has in many cases been moved to a brake line manifold, So each arrangement needs to be checked for "Where is Waldo (RCV )"?


This table which I just found on HAMB is a great reference.
