I recently did the full width d44/ 9" swap on my 87, since then I am not getting any braking from the rear drums. Everything in the rear was rebuilt when I did the swap (drums, shoes, wheel cyl, and all hardware). The front discs were rebuilt also but I swapped to chev knuckles and caliper and kept the ford 5.5 hub/ rotor. The master cylinder and booster are stock but was replaced before I did the swap and the proportioning valve has never been changed.
With that said, does the stock master cylinder and proportioning valve need to be replaced with a ford or chev unit or are the stock ones ok to use. I've already doubled and triple check the adjustment and when I bleed the rear there seems to be pressure. Has anyone ran into this problem? I've been messing with it for a while now and am all out of ideas, so if anyone has any please chime in. Thanks
