brake system help!
hello Im getting ready to plumb my brake system on my 57 3100. its has a 74 camaro clip and a 79 Trans Am disc brake rear. Im keeping the the MC under the floor without a booster. its the TA master cyl. i have the disc brake rear prop valve also. im not sure if I should run the stock prop valve or run an adjustable? or both? Are there residual valves built into the TA prop valve or do i need to add them? diagrams ive seen dont show both residual valves and prop valves. I know this has been discussed but i couldnt find it. thank you in advance

Re: brake system help!
Can't tell you anything about the MC, but with the MC below the cab I would install the residual valves, just to play it safe, because the MC is lower that the disc brake puck and rear wheel cylinders...Jim

Re: brake system help!
Agree.
Additionally, since you are now disc/disc you shouldn't need the hold off portion (delays actuation of a disc brake until the rear drums can be applied) in the production combo valve. So - my recommendation would be to eliminate the factory combo valve and use an adjustable valve on the rear, and then dial it in where you want it via experimentation. K
