Forward port on the m/c is for the rear brakes. Rearward port, with the larger reservoir, is for the front brakes.

As already stated that master has the rear brake tank in the front, so the front master outlet has to go to the rearward top port on the valve and vice versa. You can turn the valve around if you want, then the port sticking out the front of the valve will run to the rear brakes. The two ports on the other end are for the front brakes, you can use one port for you brake switch and the other will go to a T fitting which splits to the front brakes.

Thanks for the replys.. so I figured it out. Also how does the rear brake hose mount to the frame. When coming off the prop valve do u run the line and follow the cab and snakes under or though the cross member.
