Prop Valve-Brake Line question

ok I am only asking this question for the reason I am going to flare my own brake lines and I have removed mine quit a few years ago and dont really recall what line runs to where on the prop valve and dont want to foul up. so here is a picture i found that has arrows and i need to just know what one goes to the front brakes and one to the back brakes. I am sure its front bottom goes to front and back goes to the back but as you know we all need to be safe and have brakes working correctly lol. Thanks for any help

Re: Prop Valve-Brake Line question

The one closest to the left and the one above go to the front brakes. You can T off of one of these and run both front lines to it. OR you can run a line to the lf and the rf. The one nearest to the bracket that fastens to the booster is the rear line. IF I remember the fronts will be 3/16 lines, and the rear line will be a 1/4 line. The rear line will take a nut larger than a standard 1/4 line. You should be able to get the right nut at a parts store.

Re: Prop Valve-Brake Line question

I removed the prop volve from the master cylinder just now and it had 1/4" line to the fronts and 3/8" to the rear so I am assuming disc brakes dont require as much fluid as the rear drums. just thought I would throw this out there for anyone else. if its correct that is lol.
