Re: [AMC-List] Switching to disc brakes.

[<francis.swygert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim, there should be a combination valve on the 79. It's the juncion
block for the brakes with the warning switch in it. AMC used two types
-- one with a metering valve, one without. I think all the small cars
got the one without. It's easy to tell -- the one without metering has a
T in the line to the front brakes between the combo vlave and master
cylinder. The one with a metering valve has no T. The front brakes both
tie to the combo valve. "Metering" holds off applying the front brakes
until ~100 psi is reached so that the front and rear brakes apply
together (it takes about 100 psi to overcome the springs in the rear
drum brakes).
