    Roger: The valves are all 2 psi one is from wildwood and the 2 blue 1's are speedway. I guess they don't talk to each other when designing these things.

    So much for standardized color coding.... How about putting a pressure gauge on the MC outlet ports, one at a time to see how they compare.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    according to the Wilwood site []Wilwood High-Performance Disc Brakes - Search Results: residual valves] Roger is correct, the red valve is 10#. Wildwood also stamps the number on their valve bodies, i would check it make sure someone didn't send you the wrong valve.
