When I did the hydraulic conversion on my coupe, I installed a proportioning valve. After the first use the brakes locked up. come to find out, the new master cylinder has a built in proportioning valve and the two were working against each other. I removed the external proportioning valve and all was well. The supply house for the master cylinder told me that most new master cylinders have a built in proportioning valve. don't know if that is a fact or not, but something to consider when doing a hydraulic conversion.
