Brake Guru Needed!!!

Hey guys!

Situation:

Running a 10 bolt rear end, but wanting to go to disc's over the old drums.

Front end, running Buick 45 fin drums on Ford Spindle's

Question:

As long as I use the correct outlet on the (Disc/Drum) M/C to correct end of the vehicle, I should be fine? Even though the set-up is switched over the norm?

Thanks in advance!

Whats wrong with your current setup that you'd want the discs in the back?

Your front brakes do most of the hard braking work anyway.

Lets fix your real problem first.

 

Ryan no one makes a master cylinder sopecific to your setup. Get a master without any residual pressure valves built in then put the proper residual pressure valves in the lines.

if it were me I would just run 12 buick drums on all 4 corners. But I am a dummy and have been from birth.

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

Running drum fronts with disc rea rs is not a good setup, especially if the fronts are the old Lockheeds. More better to switch the fronts to discs, or at least later Bendix duo-servo (Lincoln/F-1/F-100) drums.
There's a reason the "norm" is disc front/drum rear.
