What particular information are you looking for on the disc swap with stock master cylinder? That is the set up that I am currently running.

Did you change your brake lines to 3/16 tubing or keep 1/4. didn't know if system would work as good with stock m/c, they try to sell you a dual m/c.  Also are you still used a metering valve along with a 2lb. and a 10lb, residual valve as they instruct.

Honestly, I do not recall what size hardlines I used. I ordered a preformed set of hardlines from inlinetube.com. I am still using the stock metering valve and both a 2lb and 10lb residual valves. The discs are right up there with the overdrive as the best changes I have made to the car.

I'm sure there are others, but here is a link to my thread documenting my front disc brake conversion (with a few other things):

EDIT: After re-reading my thread, I noticed I never updated it after my last post. The only thing was I changed from 1/4" lines to 3/16" lines. Just noticed you have a '37, so everything should be very similar to my '38.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know they had a metering valve back then, it must be that block on the side of the frame. I to have the 5 speed conversion from Paul Curtis and it sure makes the car a lot more fun to drive. Now with the disc brake conversion it should stop much better to.
