I'll have to do some testing if I want to confirm it, but I'm thinking maybe
if you adjust the pedal as high as possible the Dual MC will do what it is
supposed to do.  I just adjusted the pedal all the way up on our 63' in
hopes that it will help.

Bryan does the setup you installed include the shuttle valve/brake light
unit that goes between the front and rear lines?
