Thought about calling manufacturer again to ask if they have a volume rating. 5

My brother has 2 cars that will pull the front end off the ground. A 78 trans am race car and a 74 firebird daily driver.

Brakes and Braking Systems / Re: 1973 C10 Rear Disk Brake Conversion Proportioning Valve« Last post by macr0w on Today at 06:34:40 AM »This makes zero sense. To get at it in order to gut it you'd have remove it and then reinstall, so what exactly are you gaining? Just replace it while it's out if you need to. Next, if you were to gut it, what now isolates the two channels? You essentially give yourself a single channel braking system by tying all channels back together. I can see if you are replacing all of your lines and say to yourself, boy I'd really like to look at my combination valve rather than it be out of site. Good point. With that said, if I replace my MC and PV with new fancy Wilwood parts I will need to run new hardlines too I guess. 10

Thus, any gain in kinetic energy a fluid may attain by its increased velocity through a constriction is balanced by a drop in pressure". |
