HMT, did you have the residual check valve in your Master Cylinder and did you remove it for the rear discs? Sorry for the topic Hi-jack.

I swapped to a disc/disc master cylinder and prop valve.

Is there a factory Jeep master cylinder you used?

No, I used a Wilwood master cylinder but one from a late 70's Cadillac El Dorado or Corvette should work.
