I ordered new Wilwood brakes, front ant rear, with a new Wilwood master cylinder, will I need an adjustable valve for the rears?

Sometimes Yes and sometimes no. But it is good reassurance to have it if it needs fine tuning, so it would be best to fit one in your line anyway. :2thumbs:

OK, thanks, I'll order one.  Can this one be used?

I guess the ins and outs for the fronts are just a split with no adjustment, and the electrical
connection is a brake light switch.

You actually only need one with a single inlet and single outlet if you want, this will cut off pressure to the rear to make the system equal. But if you do not have a brake block to split the lines for each corner, then the one you posted would be the one needed. :2thumbs:

I used just the wildwood valve posted above in my combo, but never needed it. It's always been wide open.

I do thave the stock split block, but since I'm replacing the whole system I might as well get this one. I'm also gonna use the Hydratech brake booster system, thats gonna be interesting.

I never needed it so mine is wide open too
