Manual Brake ???

[Big88]

A question for someone that has changed to manual brakes, With disks at all wheels. Will I need to change the combination valve to make them work right. Thanks Tom

I wound up getting one of the brass recall ones, and then having some plugs made-up, and plugged, it all off. So it's just a distribution block now.

Depending on what combination of brake parts/ tires, you use, you might need to install a proportioning valve.

I have the PST rears, and have run the above with both the B Body 12" Spindles, and the 12" 02 Camaro front brakes.

I just put on Aerospace 4 piston calipers front and rear. And a strange 1.031 bore master cyl. The brakes don't seem to work very good. Maybe I need to get rid of that brass combination valve. And replace it with just a distribution block like you said. Thanks again Tom

Get rid of the factory combo valve. Its messing everything up. I have factory fronts with Aerospace rears. I bypassed the valve using brass T's with metric adapters and installed a adjustable prop valve to the rear. Im still using a Powermaster and it works great.

The reason I changed to this setup is my powermaster was blowing fuses. And this is a race car only, And I don't want to go down the track at 150 mph. depending on a fues to stop me. The combo valve must have something to do with the weak brakes i have now. Tom
