When I replumbed my Hornet, I re-did factory plumbing (combo
block and all that). I now regret that, and wish I had skipped
the brake-fail block nonsense and done it straight with the
Willwood prop valve.

-- I bleed my brakes annually/biannually and usually know what
state they're in (eg. I look!).
