I am saying that IF you still have the original metal brake lines that went
to the ORIGINAL MASTER CYLINDER, when you install the P-30 master cylinder,
in order to install the lines without adapting anything, the OEM line
fittings must be swapped in order for them to screw into the P-30. AS THE
ORIGINAL RESERVOIR IN THE FORWARD MOST POSITION IS FOR THE REAR DRUM
BRAKES, IF YOU SWITCH THE LINES, THE RESERVOIR THEN BECOMES THE FRONT
BRAKES. I didn't say that was right or wrong. That is the way I install the
P-30. Haven't had any issues just swapping the lines. When I have to
replace the lines, as is often the case when you mess with the distribution
valve fittings, I use the same size lines. I personally cannot tell the
difference either way it is done.
If you are seeing different pressures at the distribution valve, you
either have a step bore in the P-30 MC or a restriction somewhere
downstream from the MC.
