Brake Line Question?
I Notice In Some Pictures From The Distribution Block That Some Trucks Have 2 Brake Lines Coming From It, Others Have 3 Lines Coming From It..
Just Wondering If The Front Brakes Can Be Tee’d Together Lower Down And One Port Plugged On The Block To Eliminate a Line And Clean Up The Look Of Everything. Thanks Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Brake Line Question?
Yes. Exactly what you said. My 67 teed further down. The instructions that came with the new proportioning valve said you could do either and even came with a plug for the port you were not using

Re: Brake Line Question?
The stock prop valve in my 70 currently is 2 in, 2 out, with a T at the front and rear. This prop valve is mounted under the master cylinder.
The stock prop valve I took out of an 83 pickup is 2 in, 3 out. The fronts each get their own line, and the rear gets 1 line with a T. This prop valve is located under the radiator from the factory. It's not uncommon to block one of the front ports and use a single line with a T. https://www.carolinaclassictrucks.co...rop-Valve.html
