Don't tell me now, that the large tube in front of the mc is for the rear. Mine a 1979 malibu I just hooked up the manual kit front tube to front disc's? Please tell me thats right! Al

The bigger tube is for the rear brakes and the smaller line is for the front brakes on disc/drum cars. Also on the split master cyl. the bigger "tank" is for the front and the smaller is for the rear like mentioned above... Not sure who said it but thats how it is. The fronts need the extra fluid reserve because as the pads wear and the pistons move out it has too fill the void behind the caliper piston. The M/C's that have the "tanks" that are the same size are typically for disc/disc setups because it has 4 calipers that it has to fill up so to speak.
