Question regarding routing brake lines- disc conversion

[jim7485]

I bought and started to install the SS Brakes kit, but the
instructions are unclear. There are references to exhibits
that don't exist, mis-spelled words, and incoherent sentences.
My questions involve routing the brake lines from the master
to the proportioning valve and the distribution block. I found
this picture, which has the master reversed from a Mustang
unit. Is this the proper brake line set-up, assuming I use the
larger resevoir for the front and the smaller one for the back?

I will be using a disc brake distribution block which has only
three ports. One coming in and two going out. This is a
66, so there is no low fuel switch. Also, I will not be using
the red residual (whatever that is), but I will be using a
pressure guage. Where do I install it? Under this set-up,
would I install the guage where the red residual is shown?
They show a metering valve here, which I assume is the same as a distribution block.

Thanks in advance. Oh ... please don't tell me to call their
tech line- I already did. Perhaps I'm dense, but I think I really
need to see a picture.

Thanks

Here's how my SSBC kit is setup:

The line from the larger reservoir in the MC runs to a 3way distribution block, one input and the two outputs go to the passenger and drivers side front brakes. The line off the smaller reservoir goes to the proportioning valve, and the pressure gague is on the other side of that then the line going to the rear brakes.

Since you don't know what a residual valve is, after you read what it does, reconsider whether or not you are going to use one.

What a 10lb residual valve does: The 10lb residual valve holds pressure in the brake line to stop the brake shoe springs from pulling the shoes too far away from the drum. If the springs pull the shoes away from the drums, you need to pump the pedal to get the drums working again.

Isn't that what the little adjustment doo-hickies are for? The ones on the back side of the drum that you spin with a screwdriver (I suck at remembering names of things )
