    You know I am going to have to check again but I may have this wrong as well. On a typical master cylinder is the cylinder closest to the booster for the front or rear brakes?

    That is pretty much the way I have it with one exception. I blocked off one front port and ran the front to a T and then to the front brakes. I didn't have any directions for my proportioning valve. I did read wildwoods directions for their adjustable valve and they said it is fine to block off one port and run it to a T. Any idea if it is okay to run the non adjustable one the same way?
