Well - finally got the 4 wheel disc brakes working like I wanted. I posted a couple of questions here in the past- thanks for all the help. Here is what I ended up with - Front calipers/rotors/spindles/outer tie rods from 78 Granada. Rear calipers and rotors with home made brackets and emergency brake cable adapters from 89 Oldsmobile Delta. Turned down axels for top hat to sit on and installed 3" high strength wheel studs. I may go back and re-do my brackets sometime because the way I oriented them I had to pull the caliper off the bracket, put a piece of wood between the pads and stand it on end to get it to bleed out . For now it's Ok. Master cylinder - 2000 Mustang (New Bendix part) for 3.8 V6 no ABS, no power, and no traction control - (this is today's speak for a manual master cylinder). Made an adjustable rod by cutting the adjustable portion from the 78 Granada (power system) grafted onto the original rod. This master cylinder ports on the engine side rather than the street side. My lines loop around and there is plenty of room for the 302 - but might be tight for a 351 with tall valve covers. However - this master cylinder has a boss on the street side that could be machined for street side access. My guess is this particular master cylinder is the one that I have seen aftermarket brake companies offer ported both sides with plugs for the un-used side. Tricky part of this cylinder is it takes Metric balloon fittings instead of the 37 degree english double flare. Seems like odd ball stuff if you haven't worked on anything newer than 1999 stuff for a while - but seems like Ford pretty much went standard on this fitting around 2001(?). Distribution block from same 78 Granada - however I exchanged the Granada proportioning valve with one from a 92(?- not sure of year- just found in junkyard) Taurus station wagon with 4 wheel disc brakes. Added a Summit adjustable prop valve behind the Taurus prop valve. I turn it full open then the Taurus valve balances the front to rear pretty nice. I turn it full closed it pretty much cuts the rear brakes off. Burn -outs and donuts in the cul-de-sack were on like a pile of neck bones. Took me a whole lot of time, but I always enjoy the learning experience. Have about $350 in it and that includes hacking and trashing a new Maverick 2 wheel disc master cylinder, two other junkyard propvalves, and several miscellaneous fittings and lines that I made - screwed up - made again - screwed up again - third time was a charm. Cleaver
