Same setup I installed on a friend's '72 F100.





....setup I'm currently working on in a friend's '65 F100: (mockup) dual diaphragm booster with a '95 Ford Explorer MC. The actual booster that will be installed will be built by Prior Automotive (in Dallas, TX) tomorrow (Monday) and shipped to me this coming week.



The dual diaphragm booster can be bought through Prior Automotive under part number 3700131. Specify a dual diaphragm booster for a '68-'72 F350 with front discs and an adjustable booster input rod code of "FT8."

The 1-1/16" bore MC for a 1995 Ford Explorer (without cruise control/without proportioning valve) can be purchased through NAPA under part number NMC M3246.

The MC will require (1) 10M x 1.00 metric bubble flare fitting and (1) 12M x 1.00 metric bubble flare fitting. These fittings can be purchased through Classic Tube under the part numbers ST8036 and ST8040, respectively.
Did you find the mc/prop valve lines on classic tube or?

Thanks!
WF

The lines aren't an off-the-shelf item. I made them from a 25' coil of (steel) 3/16" brake tubing.
