    The master cylinder is from a early 80's Suburban, the front brakes are Wildwood, the backs are 54 Ford truck drums. Now the back breaks are locking up at sudden stops. Can I install a Wildwood valve in the back line? Do I have to get rid of the factory setup or can I use both? Thanks for your help. [​IMG]

    Alot of us are or have already switched to an adjustable valve for the rear brakes only and run the fronts right out of the master cyl. to the T and out to the wheels. That way you have full brake to the fronts and can adjust the rears accordingly. After doing that to my 55, it'll damn near launch you through the windshield until you gete used to it.
