I have a residual pressure valve I want to install in the rear line of my now disk braked truck. It has a arrow, but is the arrow in the direction of the flow or toward the MC ?
Brake Residual pressure valve question ?

The Wilwood valves have an indicator, but not an arrow, but they are also marked and the "out" goes toward the brakes.
Flow from the M/C to W/C. Install backwards and valve will hold pressure in the W/C and lock up will occur. Learned the hard way?

I assumed the arrow would point away from the MC, thanks. BTW, where you been Bo ?

JP, be certain this is a 2# valve for disc brakes, a 10# valve for a drum brake setup will cause overheating and short pad life in a disc setup. Lamar
John,
I'm neck deep in alligators, moving from Texas to Florida. Building shops, house and cleaning up property there is a full time job. Just back for a couple weeks to pack another load of parts and equipment before heading back to florida with the stuff.

OK, I misread it to be 4 wheel disk. Lamar
