BSCC- Brake Lines

[Mark Edmonds]

An explanation of my comment at the meeting...  A few years ago I was
building a 1955 Ford pickup street rod.  I got a 1990 Mustang power master
cylinder set up to drive the new disc brake system.  It had lines into and
out of a brass divider block and I could not figure out how it worked so I
went to a Ford dealer and spoke with a couple of mechanics.  One of the
things they told me is that the front brakes work off of the reservoir
closest to the pedal (plunger end) because there is better pressure there.
That at least made some sense to me.

Dear Members,
 
Those who made the meeting know that Chuck Cromwell believed my description
of the brake line assembly was incorrect.  He indeed was correct, I was
mistaken.  The rear reservoir does go to the front brakes and the front most
reservoir goes to the rear brakes though the hole drilled in the firewall.
Sorry for any confusion I made have caused.
 
One last think I forgot to mention at the meeting.  You may have to readjust
the brake light switch that makes contact with the brake pedal arm under the
dash.  Double check it to make sure the brake lights are off with your foot
off the pedal.
 
See attached photo for master cylinder line routing.
 
Regards to All,
 
Jim Bengiovanni
