Just bought the entire kit dual MC conversion kit from Inline Tube look straight-forward except for a question on which lines goes where. I found an old post where someone posted a photo and this makes it easy to see and I think I see the logic, but what I'm not sure of is what line goes to which side of the master cylinder. As you see in my picture below the two lines marked "To master cylinder" don't specify which "chamber or vessel" of the MC. I think I read somewhere that front chamber goes to rear brakes and rear chamber (vessel) goes to front? Is that correct?

Thank you for all the help, I've been needy lately, lots of projects going on. Radiator, brakes & lines, gas tank, parking brake,. Soon exhaust and floor pans.

For anyone that has done this Inline Tube distribution block does it go in the same spot where the factory distribution block was I'm kind of confused because it looks like the lines do not reach unless it's moved somewhere else but I'm not sure where to move it to thank you
 
Goes into the same place. You never said what you are working on. Changing to discs, drums etc.

Drums, thanks, if it does stay in the same place then sonethings weong. No way the block to MC lines reach.

I believe that your question should be answered by in line tube. Having said that, why should every line in the car be altered for moving the dist block? Or visa versa. IMO, something seems wrong.

I agree whole-heartedly however I couldn't reach them over the weekend so I was hoping someone had used their product before and could offer their experience., but I appreciate your feedback.

As a closing to this issue, Inline Tubes finally called me back and left a message, I never spoke to anyone but assume their kit is not exact fit. So I mounted the block where I could, and made new lines from the block to the Master Cylinder. Not sure I'll ever do business with them again. But their lines do seem to be constructed well. Bad customer service though.
 
I just used the factory distribution block in my 1964 and 1965 Mopars when converting to a dual MC. Since the top port was 1/4", I screwed an adapter to 3/16" inv flare for the new front tube from the MC. I ran the new rear tube from the MC around the distribution block, using an inline 3/16" inv flare coupler to the factory tube going aft. I plugged the rear port in the distribution block. I bought all in bubble packs at Autozone.

My guess is the Inline Tubes rear ports are independent of the front circuit, so just serve as a coupler. It would be nice if their block had an "imbalance warning switch", as in say a 1969 Mopar drum-drum block, since that is the main reason to plumb both front and rear circuits to the same block.
