A little background on my rig...
I run a '68 Corvette manual MC on my Scrambler, no boost or hydro assist. I have a front Chevy 60 and a 14 bolt rear with the disk conversion. My brakes are great. Even with the STaK in low/low I can hold the Jeep with no problem.
My MC took a dump on me while at Gray Rock this last June. It emptied the rear reservoir into the front, so I guess the internal seals gave up the ghost.
I wanted to replace the MC with a NEW, GM unit like I had before. No one had them around here, only rebuilds or Napa's "new" unit, which was some generic piece of crap. I contacted a local Corvette restoration shop,
http://www.dmcorvette.com/dmhome.htm. They do a LOT of restorations and sales of original Vettes. Anyway, they had the MC new and in-stock.
Now for the tech, I was reading this thread,
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showt...aster+cylinder and it talked about the front res. going to the rear and the rear res. going to the front. On my Jeep I run it front/front and rear/rear and had excellent results. Oh well, whatever works.
I went up to the DM showroom to check out how the lines to the MC were run on these vintage cars. They had a number of stock late ?60s ?Vettes on the floor. These were all original cars.
Here is what I saw on the routing of the brake lines:
?68 Corvette with manual brakes: front to front, rear to rear.
?68 Corvette with power brakes: front to rear, rear to front.
?72 Corvette with power brakes: front to rear, rear to front.
I think I?ll keep mine as I have had them all along.
Hope this helps.
