    MS Retro Brake booster and cyl set up

    When upgrading to the MS fox Body booster set up, do you replace the old proportion valve or just add the adjustable to the system?

    The booster has nothing to do with the original distribution block or proportioning valve.  You will need to replace the hard lines from the master cylinder to the distribution block since the mc is now positioned farther forward.

    Tell me what brakes you have, whether they are being redone at the same time of the booster or not, and anything that is being done to the brake system and I can offer more help.  Pics also help.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Im the guy with the excessive pedal travel.
    I decided to add disc to the rear and change over to the Fox body booster/ master you offer.
    My question was on the proportion valve requirements.

    Using an adjustable valve in the rear brake line, connect that hard line to the MC port closest to the radiator.  Connect the firewall port of the MC to the distribution block that splits to tight and left front.  On a 65-66, you will need an SAE inverted flare plug to block off the port that used to go to the rear wheels.
