Hello all,
I have a '68 Cougar xr7 that came stock with front disc and rear drum. I converted the brakes using the Wildwood dynalite kit for front and back, all disc. I have an aftermarket cam, so I also installed a vacuum pump dedicated to the brakes. I used the stock booster and master cylinder.
I recently experienced some drag in my rear brakes after some stop and go traffic. I haven’t experienced this before, but I haven’t put on many miles since I did my brake conversion. My current master cylinder doesn’t seem to be the greatest quality and leaks at the top seal, so I recently bought this one:
I believe the issue is that my residual pressure valve on the stock master (front disc / rear drum) is likely 10 PSI for the drum. The new one is specifically listed for “4 wheel disc brakes” but I wanted to confirm this one has 2 PSI for both the front and back. Anyone have any thoughts / feedback?
Also, I have the stock distribution and portioning valve combination under the master on the drivers side. My brakes have felt okay, but I am considering an adjustable proportioning valve. Any recommendations on a replacement that fits exactly where the stock one is so I do not have to redo any lines?
Thanks
