Bleeding brakes-pedal pressure problem. Could use some advice/suggestions

Okay, summary time for me.

- Your 1"-1" dual master is fine.
- Stock Ford of this first Ford use of hydraulics had a single MC with a 1-1/16" bore
- There is no need to change your stock wheel cylinders. Ford has already figured that out, including providing larger wheel cylinder bores for the leading, dominate brake shoe.
- There is no need to check the stroke. With a brake arm ratio of 3.85, you will have more stroke than stock, noting that a '40 has a ratio of 6 to 1.

I recommend that you do the following:

- Keep everything as you have it but install two inline RPVs as shown below. Your leg length for the rear may be too short to allow the flaring tool. You can either make that leg longer or put the RPV on the straight hard line on your torque tube right after the flex hose. That's what I have.

When you buy the RPVs, get them without fittings. You'll have to buy four 1/8" NPT X 7/16-24 inverted flare. Most of the kits will have a 3/8-24 which is for 3/16" lines.
