Stock 80s Chevy truck master. Running both ports into a T single line to frame then back to a T to calipers.

Pinion brake is where its at, mount one off the 14 bolt and you will stop on a dime

Then my other option would be install a hydro boost off a newer Chevy truck or astro van where it runs off your p.s. pump, or find an new master designed to run disc brakes off a single piston with no booster, I would assume summit or jegs would have them for drag cars

I have rear disc on my chevy and nothing on front and works great. But its strictly a mud truck.  Im running a single 1/4 inch line to the back and then teed into 3/16 at the pumpkin.  I also am using front port on master and plugged the rear port.  I dont have a booster and it works great.
