Re: HOW TO: Split the brake lines (many have asked)

I did this conversion to a 64 a few years ago and last year to my current 64. I hooked everything up like in the thread mentioned. I never did get the pedal height I like. I have done a little research and in my 1971 Chilton manual under the Camaro/Chevelle section there is a drawing of a "typical" 67-70 master cylinder. It shows the front port to the front wheels and the rear port to the rear wheels. It states- "Since 1967, a dual type master cylinder is used. The front portion of the master cylinder supplies hydraulic pressure for the front wheels. Pressure for the rear wheel brake application is supplied from the rear portion of the master cylinder." I just switched my lines and have more pedal now. I still have to re bleed the lines because I may have gotten some air in while switching the lines. I'm using a 70 truck booster/mc set up.
