    Resolved Can you vacuum bleed M/C instead of bench bleeding?

    So all my brake components are new, SS, lines, wheel cyc, calibers etc... Can I bolt the New M/C on, and just vacuum bleed the system? I didn't want to bench bleed it, since the chance of getting brake fluid spilled in the engine bay will surely happen when I plug the plugs hoses and try to...

    Stock proportioning valve plug

    hmmm this popped up on some search, looks like MM makes a value eliminator kit - https://www.maximummotorsports.com/Assets/install/pdf/brakes/MMBAK-6.pdf, to just remove it.. so maybe I will just be better of getting this an the adjustable valve then, since all the lines are new SS ones, and no...

    Stock proportioning valve plug

    well sounds like a plan for a path forward if I find that the old plug leaks, not sure why it has that rubber plug in it in the first place, and what would happend if you just removed it and tapped and plugged it (or if it's steal, just do a little tack weld and plug it.. Now to gut it, you...

    Stock proportioning valve plug

    That's kind of what I'm wondering, if I gut it and buy that plug, and then install the ford manual valve that you use for the rear disk, even though I don't have rear disc yet, could I still run that and adjust it? that's the million dollar question. Hmmm and don't remember, do you have to...

    Stock proportioning valve plug

    Yeah I seen that plug, but I'm running the stock brakes (everything is new) but still drum in the back... I'm staying 4 lug since I got wheels already, but I would like to put disc on the rear eventually.

    Mysterious light bulb socket for 2010 Mustang V6

    Well the pic your showing is not a headlight bulb, might be turn signal, the headlight would be a Halogen type bulb, I believe both would be in the headlight housing, look for another connector on the back of the housing.
