I'm assuming the rear needs a 2psi residual valve as well? My front calipers are GM metrics I'm pretty sure and the rear are going to be from an Explorer. Does this sound correct, or what would you do differently? Thanks in advance for the help. I'd like to build the system once and not have to go back and do it again.
Ryan, this sounds pretty similar to the setup I created for my '37 but it's been a while since I've looked at it. I used the SN95 Mustang rear brake conversion on my 9" rear and have GM calipers on the front, Corvette MC with 7" booster, but if I like the hydraboost conversion on my truck, I think I'll add hydaboost to the '37. I have 2# residual valves front & rear plus a proportioning valve on rear line.
