I'm Awesome
Ok so I got to doing this today and all was going swell till I tried to break loose the fittings on the dump valve, after almost 30 years of being together they didn't want to come apart, in fact they didn't even after soaking them with Screw loose, all three kinked the brake line and finally came out looking like a pigs tail, even the one line that was going back to the proportioning valve
So I had to try to disconnect that at the union at the bottom of the firewall and with headers it was a, excuse my French, a mother *****!!! Stuck like hell and no room to work period!!!! I soaked it with loosen juice and let it sit awhile, no dice, so I got my little butane torch out and heated it some. After cussing every word known to man it finally broke loose, Yippee. So off to the parts store for a brake line and Ill try to finish 2morrow after I attempt to bend the new one to fit, then I guess Ill have to bleed the rears for sure now. I hope it all works after this fiasco
Wish me luck

So had trouble with the lower brass union leaking damnit, but I turned the line end for end and it stopped, bled rears and all seems natural, good pedal. The ABS light came on for awhile but just went for a test run and its out now ???
So inspite of having some problems its all good
