Lt1 master cylinder quick question
Finishing up brake conversion, have had it torn apart for so long can't remember and want to be sure. On the master cylinder, does the forward most port go to the front brakes and the port closest to to the booster go to the rears?

Logic dictates that the deeper side of the reservoir is the front brakes. This way if you run low on fluid the front brakes remain operational longer than the back brakes.

Thanks for your reply. So wold you say it's a safe bet that the rear port goes to the front brakes?

Re: Lt1 master cylinder quick question
My guess was right. SHBox.com is my friend.

Take a look at items 31 and 32.
