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

I have the same brakes (and the doctor diff axles) on mine and a stock '70 Drum combo valve, as far as I can remember I'm dropping a very minimum amount of brake pressure and its working well. I have hydroboost which really gives you some brakes right now!

Yeah right now I'm running the prop valve wide open. It actually seems pretty close to balanced already, but I want to make sure I have the pads fully broken in before I do too much adjusting.

I did notice a smidge more pedal travel, changed the ratio of the master cylinder bore to the rear brakes a little I think. So still getting used to some of the changes. My set up is fully manual, but it doesn't take a ton of leg. I like the feel the manual brakes give, it's not super difficult but you definitely have to mean it.
