explorer 8.8 in an a-body: experience needed

^---My stock power master cylinder works fine on my 74' for this. If anything, I'd delete the prop valve for fun, but that's nothing to be concerned with.

For the e-brake cable: those cable loops you use for your dog leash, you use one of those to close the cable around the engagement hook. Done deal. Cable adjusts fine, make sure you adjust the drum brakes, make them they drag a little. 8.8 fits like it was made for it, seriously.

Without the residual valve you really aren't using the rear brakes right, and really the master isn't right to move the amount of fluid per pedal stroke... but ](*,)

The drum in the rotor hat is the emergency brake and you don't set that to have drag.

Changing the prop valve to a adjustable would be the best thing to do if you are going to take the time and set it right, but you still need the residual valve and you should change the master as the calipers use more fluid..
