I replaced the stock single res with a 67 Mustang dual res. It is also a drum/drum type.

I removed the rear brakes from the old distribution block and blocked off it's port (38-24 IF) then put the rear on their own block. I wanted at least half brakes if a line failed.

I was using a lever style electrical stop light switch but they are all junk so looking to use the 1/8 NPT stock style hydro switch but I have no port for it.

This never had a low pressure warning light. Don't need a proportioning valve on drum/drum. However I did plumb in a pair of residual pressure valves.

I may have to settle for an adapter fitting.
