Does any body have pics of their master cylinder set up for a 1966 mustang with factory front disc brakes and rear drum. I'm trying to run new brake lines and I don't trust the way it was set up when I bought the car. What I would like to see is a pic or a diagram of were the lines connect to the master cylinder (original style single chamber) to the distribution block and the proportioning valve using a new SSBC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its a little fuzzy but does this show what you need?

Yes that helps quit a lot. So correct me if I am wrong the bottom outlet on the master cylinder goes into the the distribution block which goes to the front brakes, then the outlet in front of the master cylinder goes the proportioning valve which then goes to the rear drums. Also what is the purpose of the coils in the lines? Mine was so messed up the bottom outlet was capped off on the master cylinder also both the front and rear brakes went through the distribution block which has four inlets/outlets instead of three.

Kevin,

Yes, you have it correct how the lines were originally routed. I doubt that it really makes much difference which line goes to the front or rear brakes but that is how they were originally. The line that used to go to the proportioning valve is now connected to your distribution block.

What are the coils for? I don't really know but they look sort of nice.

There were never any 'official' repair parts for the proportioning valves and years ago there weren't any new valves either. So someone has re-worked your system by eliminating the valve altogether. I suppose no proportioning valve is better than no brakes. You can now buy a non-Ford valve that is not original but probably works better than the original ones.

The original valves look similar on the outside but there are at least 3 variations of them and the innards are different sizes. The common Scott Drake repair kit only works for ONE of those variations. I know, I bought their kit and it didn't work on my late '66 valve which surprised not only me but Scott Drake as well. They thought there were only 2 variations, early and 'late' for which their kit supposedly works. But my valve was apparently 'too late' and their kit didn't fit it.
