Quick brake question

I am getting ready to put brake fluid in my brake system for the first time. The PO installed disk up front and kept drum in the back but never finished the install. I finished it and was about to put in fluid and bleed the system when I noticed the master cylinder has the same size reservoirs for both the disk portion and the drum portion. I am used to the disk reservoir being smaller than the drum reservoir. It does have a proportioning valve just below the MC. Is this setup going to be ok or do I need to replace the MC? I'll try to post a pic.

Re: Quick brake question

Your master is fine, I ran the same when I had disk in the front. The most imperative thing is to replace the distribution valve with a proportioning valve. Your stopping will be really interesting without it.
