My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head

PlumCrazyChris said
I really love the build, good work. I'm curious about when your Demon will be all one color?

Eventually?

It's really not a priority for me. The car works great as is, the original paint is holding up pretty well and as long as it isn't rusting away I don't care. The car is my daily driver at this point and has been for more than a few years, so finishing the paint job would mean taking it off the road.

Blu, quick question about your rear disk swap. I see you did away with the stock prop valve, did you add a 2lb residual valve to replace the original 10 lb valve for the drum brakes? Or just eliminate it altogether?
Thx

I don't have any kind of residual valve front or rear, the height of the master above the calipers is plenty. I eliminated the stock prop valve and replaced it with this adjustable one, although I actually haven't adjusted it very much. I've got like 1 turn on the valve from wide open, but my rear tires are bigger than my fronts so that may be part of it too.

I have the same brake swap and I have the drum distribution block and a wilwood proportioning valve in the rear line only. You will want the adjustable proportioning valve in my opinion. I got some rear wheel lock up the other day and had to take a little rear bias out. No need for a residual valve with disk brakes when the master cylinder is in the stock location. I have an 80's aluminum master cylinder (1 1/8 due to Hydroboost).

Yup, agree. I haven't adjusted mine very much but I really couldn't have known what it would need before the install. I run a 15/16" master cylinder from DoctorDiff but my brakes are manual still.
