B&M and yes back brake line (front one on MC) goes to the back. I have a Wilwood adjustable Prop valve in that line, but I don't think it is needed.

We just finished rerunning the brake lines and doing away with the factory proportion valve. The pedal has a better feel to it now, before it felt like a power brake system with a bad booster.

I just picked up my conversion kit from Travis(Steel concepts). This is a VERY nice piece for the money. I will have it installed this week.

where can I purchase a proportion valve, is there a specific one I need or do I just need to find one that'l fit my line, and where would be the best place to mount this, how long did it take to install, price?, etc,etc, this is the first time really getting into my brakes like this so Im kindof new to it, any info will help, I was just about to go out and flare my brake line to fit the new master cylinder but now i guess I'l need to wait until I get more info
