I was hoping to ask the experts the reside across this forum for some definite answers on converting my 1972 c-10 from power brakes to manual brakes.
No need to bring out the torches and pitchforks, I know I will get a lot of "But why...?" for this. You see, this is a street/strip truck. 540 BBC, I am having issues removing valve covers to adjust lash. Took the factory brake booter set up out when the 540 went in, bought the master cylinder/smaller brake booster set up from Jegs to help out with my problems ( https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/631442/10002/-1 ) helped slightly but not a sustainable solution.
Trying to adjust valve lash is still a PITA on the drivers side. I would like to convert to manual brakes to free up some space as well as clean up under the hood. I know the master cylinder is good for power or manual brakes but unsure of what proportioning valve to order. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the novel..

Prop valves are disc/drum or drum/drum for these trucks. Disc/disc are available through the aftermarket.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
