I would use a manual master cylinder for a mid 70's Corvette.

Re: Disci brake questions.

I have a 68 AMC Javelin with 74 AMC Hornet Discs up front and an 8.8 from a Explorer in the rear with discs as well. We went with a dual master cylinder from an 84 F-150 and are using the little one way valves you can pick up at Summit Racing. This turned out to be an outstanding set up. I have a very solid pedal and very equal braking on all types of surfaces. I bought an adjustable proportioning valve but didn't end up using it. You can find the valves here:

Re: Disci brake questions.

You can use the Corvette prop valve,or just add anadjustable valve in the rear line. That way tou can fine tune the braking if the rear is grabbing too soon. I like the Wilwood # 260-11179 valve.
