Can we talk breaks?

[48ford]

Hi,
On the 46 ford sedan,It stops good,but I think the peddle is too low,but not on the floor ,not even close.
I have a mixture of parts.
I have the rear out of a 85 monteSS
Front disc are off a 76 monte
The proportioning valve is off a 76 monte
The swing peddle and power booster&master are out of a broncoll.
all the lines are 3/16 but the one from the valve to the rear, and that is 1/4".
Do you think I should change the 1/4 to 3/16 too?
Any ideas?
thanks Russ

Ok ive got a question Russ.

You say swing pedal? This meaning your M/C is firewall mounted? If so it should work just fine or actually better than an under floor mount. :?:
I like 3/16 all the way for lines but the 1/4 shouldnt be a problem but if your feeling frisky change it out for a 3/16
.. Another thing.... power brakes :?:  Never run em :!:

What's the bore on the master cylinder? The calipers you have need a 1" bore master cylinder.

The size of the lines will NOT affect the pedal of your brakes.

If it isn't leaking, you will gain NOTHING by changing from 1/4" to 3/16".
