Reply to "Brake fluid?"

Thanks Bosswrench, my brakes are original setup with only slightly bigger tires,205/60 front and 275/60 rear. I already removed the proportioning valve when I has the calipers rebuilt and replaced with a puck style tee. That is why I asked if removing both shuttle and prop. valve was viable. I am not sure if the shuttle is plumbed right. Looking at the drawing JFB#0577 posted, my lines run as such. Going clockwise from top left, top left to rear brakes, center to warning light(capped now), top right to puck tee, far right at end to master cylinder first port (close to driver), bottom right to stop light switch, and bottom left to front master port (toward radiator). From the tee there is the inlet from top right of shuttle and one to each front brakes. I do not see what the proportioning valve did if this was plumbed right. Maybe harder pedal as valve restricted front fluid flow? All I know is I believe there is air in the shuttle after taking apart to fix the switch leak. I will bleed one more time the is out with the shuttle. Thanks for this forum and all you guys in "The Know"
