Disc brake conversion

[36tbird]

Yo 41, it never rains in So. Cal, right? And if it does or you run down the road and come upon a fire hydrant flooding the street with kids running out to play in the water and you do a panic stop, are you gonna swap ends? The way you test or adjust prop. valves is to find some place dusty or slippery (loose traction) to see how the rig stops then.

And Pete, the Wilwood has a "mechanical proportioning system built in" but it's still a prop. valve, right?

Don't take my questions as being ornery or confrontational. Just asking.

Size of the master cylinder piston determines power assist needed or not. I have 4 wheel discs on my '36 pickup with 15/16" m/c piston. It does the job fine. My regrets have been the e'brake adjustment and in hindsight to other old cars I have upgraded, the rear discs are not worth the effort.
