push the little black button on the proportioning vavle and just keep pumping, leave the bleeders open and go to town.

If you're gonna use disc brakes on back you need a different proportioning valve/master cylinder anyways.

Re: Brakes on 72 Chevy truck

i used the classic perform products rear disk brake kit for my '72. the kit was pretty easy to install, although the directions were a little bit confusing. agree with above if you do the change you will need to change your firewall brake setup as well. i changed to a '92 sub. booster & mc. i then put on the cpp 4 wheel disk prop. valve.

good luck!!!
