Set aside some time and patience . That booster is not a fun time ! LolI plan to do that last (Saturday morning) per my preplanned schedule. I'm just praying that Rock Auto sends me the correct rotors this time -scheduled Friday delivery.
Sounds like I need to take advantage of tonight and Thursday night as much as I can in order to meet my timing. I'll probably fill the diff tonight and maybe start on the master cylinder Thursday night. I didn't purchase a new booster. I thought heavily about it and even drove a buddy's notch who did the same swap and his car felt really strong.Set aside some time and patience . That booster is not a fun time ! Lol
Atleast pull your master and booster maybe get the prop valve gutted and done and the adjustable installed then you can just focus on the booster to hopefully make your dead line . Soak those plugs with Pb blast on the prop valveSounds like I need to take advantage of tonight and Thursday night as much as I can in order to meet my timing.

Awesome i love the determination!!Ok. You guys are really encouraging me to finish this project by this weekend and I appreciate it. I went ahead tonight and filled the diff with 2 quarts Royal Purple and friction modifier, installed the proportioning valve and adjusted the e brake cable under the car. That should put me ahead to install the master cylinder tomorrow night. The front rotors, calipers and soft lines will be an easy job once Rock Auto delivers the correct rotors and all that leaves is the bleeding.
Good insight on the proportioning valve. Thanks. Is the bench bleeding necessary? Or does it just make the overall process easier?Bleeding can be a little PITA for an all new system. Took me a few tires to get all the air out and required bench bleeding the master a couple times as well.
Finally, setting the prop valve takes a little time as well. I set mine to FULL reduced pressure initially for my test drives, and then added more pressure slowly over time to a point where I felt comfortable with it during some hard braking testing. With the 13" front brakes, you have more than enough power to drive with full reduced power to the back brakes, especially the 11.65" brakes.
On a daily driver type fox that might see rain or snow, I recommend leaving it more towards the reduced pressure setting. On a weekend toy with fat sticky tires, you might want to be a bit more aggressive.
Sounds like I'll be bench bleeding that thing. I know a place very near my work. ThanksIf you are swapping the MC, you need to do it. The MC mounts at an angle and you'll never get all the air out of it unless you can jack the rear end of the car up VERY high to the point the MC is level
Just called my local place. $45.00! That's California for you.
