Master Cylinder Install question
I'm getting ready to change out the single bowl master cylinder for a dual bowl on my '31 Ford that is mounted on the frame rail. I have drum brakes all the way around and was wondering if I needed residual valves in the lines. The current single bowl doesn't have them but a lot of things the previous owner had done didn't make sense so I don't want that to be my guide. Thanks

maybe the single bowl has a residual valve built in?
I would say yes, add valves..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

To expand; if the master cylinder is mounted lower than the wheel cylinders then residual check valves are used to eliminate the possibility of fluid "draining back" to the master reservoir.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
