    have a old poncho that i think had power brakes so theres multiple outlets for brake lines at master cylinder and proportioning valve
    would fluid flow better if i hooked 3 lines between master cylinder and prop. valve?
    would i blow out seals on wheel cylinders?
    who can enlighten me

    Wagonwheel: If you have no better grasp of automotive brake systems than your post shows STOP ! Either do some reading or find someone who does know how things work. If the car in question has a prop valve it is OT to start with. If on something else you need to find knowledgeable help.
    First one line is all that is needed as the fluid flow in very minimal. Second more than one line with not change the pressure developed in the system, so no it would not blow the wheel cylinders.
    Find you a old high school auto shop text book and READ IT !!

    where did you think the extra line would go? :confused: for the rear, it is 1 in 1 out, and a T at the axle, and the front is 1 in 2 out. I don't see how you could have gone from a to b to c.
