Converting to dual circuit brakes on my 65 D100
I'm thinking of converting to dual circuit brakes on my 65 D100 and I'm wondering if there is any parts other than the mastercylinder that are different?

Re: Converting to dual circuit brakes on my 65 D100
That is a pressure balance switch that senses when one circuit is out of fluid and illuminates the red BRAKE light on the dash. It is simply a failure indicator and does nothing else. Not required for dual circuit system operation, but recommended.

when i do mine i think i'm just going to tee the front brake lines to go to both front wheels and put an adjustable proportioning valve in the rear line.

Definitely recommended. I once drove 20 miles without brakes, partially through a rough part of town (think judgement night), in my 65 Chrysler when the rear wheel cylinder blew out.

I used the whole system off a 5TH avenue in the bone yard, only had to shorten the rear line,and had the correct fitting to boot.
