Hello. I have a power brake master cylinder mounted under the floor. Mine is mounted backwards as I think most are. Both reservoir are the same size. I am running disc's in front and drums in rear. Mounted in that position, is the reservoir closest to the vacuum booster for the front or the rear brakes? I know that normally the big reservoir is for the disc's but as I said they are equal size. Thank you.
Good video. Thanks. I have had my 36 Ford truck on the road now for 118 miles and just figured out that I don't have any rear brakes. If you are right, that the back reservoir closest to the vacuum booster is for the front discs then I have it plumbed backwards. Bummer.
I have the same MS and res closest to booster is for front. My problem is no brake pressure bled and bled again. No air in lines but pedal goes to floor with engine running. Nobody seems to have an answer.
After doing some research for my brake problem (see other thread) I have realized that in most diagrams I see that the way they plummed the combination valve is how you described yours. Closest res to the booster is for the rear brakes and the other is for the front.
Someone said it does not matter but can anyone confirm this before I go buying and bending new brake lines to plum it like I described above?
My ratio is 6:1 with booster, but this all came as a kit with the booster so why would it have an incorrect ratio? And what are the ill effects of usung this in a power assist sytem? My problem is that no matter how I adjust it I dont get pedal pressure.
Buddy has similar trouble with his '57 Olds. May be plumbed backward.
Pedal to the floor with vacuum assist. but seems to have brakes (driving 'round the parkin' lot).
Not certian of the ratio, but I thought it strange. I don't know If I would want to take it on the road that way.
