Mid 70's Corvette master cylinder works well.....and yes, you should use a disc/disc proportioning valve.

I used a mid 80s 3/4 ton truck master cylinder and brought a disc/disc proportioning valve as well. the valve was brought at a GoodGuys swap meet, but I don't remember the maker.

Re: GUys Runing 4 wheels disk brakes in here please!

theres someone selling a new cpp disc/disc prop valve in the for sale section, I think its titled "suspension parts" I just bought his air valves,
are you changing out the whole rear end or converting your existing rear end to disc?
