Combo valve and stock brake switch question

I currently have the stock drum/drum brake switch and the stock rear line as well as new front lines running off of it. I will be running 4 wheel disks and was going to add an adjustable prop valve in the rear line. If instead I mount a combo valve under the new mc, can I run lines from that to the stock brake switch or does the switch have to go? I ask because if so then I need to run new lines straight to the combo valve and that's going to take some more work.

This is the combo I would like to run, although I may want to mount the valve below the mc like Keepat did on his car.

I know he's not the most popular guy in the world, but the ram man kind of made sense when he was ranting to me at Carlisle. It's a hydraulic system, the pressure will equalize in the system and the brakes should work well. I have a ssbc system I have never been too thrilled with. I am going to go back to square one and put the mopar booster and m/c on there and see how it goes. I'll let you know when I get it done, hopefully before earth day so I can go pollute the atmosphere!

I've heard quite a bit of bad things about SSBC. I hope you get your problems solved.   :2thumbs:

I think it's ok to have the combo valve between the mc and the stock switch but I'm not positive. I "could" remove the stock switch and use brake line connectors to extend the existing lines. Keeping the switch would just simplify things a bit.

I wish I had finished the brake system before I put the engine back in. It was nice to have all that space to work on the lines. Live and learn!   :lol:
