Thumbs up Re: Dual chamber master cylinder for drum brakes

How did the car come through, with a SB or FE? It had KH 4 PISTON DISC on the front? 8" rear assy?

If the rear shoes are smaller (you would have to cipher swept area) it may explain the not needing a PPV. It is not supplying the braking force as OEM design. Is this a strip or street/strip car?

But then again, you have never had to dynamite the brakes if someone runs a red light in front of you on a slick road surface ...
