Re: Brake line coil off master cylinder necessary?

I went with no coils, but plenty of bends that should allow a little flex. Big project, but I’m glad it’s done. Got the front to rear proportioning set up. A lot safer now, and the brakes feel great. I put a residual valve in the rear brake line, which made it impossible for gravity bleeding, so that kind of sucked. Used my Motive brake bleeder, which makes a mess, but it got the job done.

Off topic again to clarify/correct my post...

I didn't realize that the reason I didn't have good power assist was not because of the size of the booster, it was the fact that the vacuum port I used on the 1" carb adapter was a blind hole. It was never drilled to expose it to manifold vacuum!

I didn't have poor power brakes; I didn't have any at all! I have since then attached the booster to the carb port.
