Q & A: Pressure Switch

John,
Now my question, do you see a problem if I leave out the pressure switch on the dual pressure valve distribution block? Just put a short bolt in instead? The 'push to test' switch on the dash has failed and is useless at best. I am upgrading the braking system on a resurrected '65 B and plan to use the newer master cylinder. OH, I an grafting on the front end from a '71 and it has the mounting hole for the distribution block on the left fender, so it will be easy
to install the newer system.
Thanks, John
