    Dave is there a good book or place to read up on this.
    This is also the first time I've built a brake system
    from scratch, and I would very much like to get it right.
    And need to learn about the right proportioning valves
    and what to use to check the presure and how.
    Thanks Kurt

    We have 4 wheel disk on the Model A and no power. It stops fine, good pedal feel too.

    Brake pressure gauges to check the pressure. Lots of the dirt track supply places sell them...Speedway has them for sure. Here's a site with some good brake and suspension information.....

    Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
