Well, your right about the junkyard stuff being an unknown as far as quality, but since all the original swap stuff (p-valve, lines, & hardware) were from the junkyard I didn't think twice about it.

Ok, tonight I'll check the wheel cylinders for leakage (I haven't noticed any visible signs but I haven't inspected them closely) & carefully verify they're working w/o drums on.

71Rat, I actually thought about that but tried smacking the p-valve w/a big ol' wrench to 'unstick' it. I did brake hard a couple of times in reverse when adjusting after installing the new rear shoes, but when I switched out the p-valve, I thought that would take care of the prob.

Thanks.
