    Me again! I have the new power brake system in. The new master has no prevision for the brake light pressure switch. I have been to my local parts store and they cannot find the fitting that I would need to attach to the master and provide for the 1/8 pipe thread pressure switch and on to the brake line.
    So I would need the proper fit to the master on one, 1/8 pipe on another, and reverse flair on the third.
    Parts guy is pretty good but can't solve this one!
    Anyone done the swap and used something different?
    Thanks!

    Are you running discs on all four corners? If not, you probably want a proportioning valve, and with that you should have extra ports for a switch.

    Yes, disc on all 4 corners. I have it up and going now. I had to weld a bracket uner dash and mount a late model switch. Works great. I got the old girl on the ground today and backed it out of the shop. tires are rubbing on the rear but I have wheels ordered to take care of that.
    Now to set ride height.
    Thanks for all of the help!
