Default New Brake Lines going in... got a Master Cylinder Question

The new brake lines from FedHill are going into the track project as is the interior-mounted adjustable proportioning valve. Here's a dumb question... since I'm using an S4 Master Cylinder which normally routes fluid to the ABS pump before going to the calipers, can someone confirm for me that the front master cylinder port goes to the front wheels and the rear port to the rear wheels or does it not matter? Since all the lines on the car that I grabbed the master cylinder off of ran into the ABS pump (and my car has no ABS), I have no notes on which is which.

IIRC the feed to the front wheel brakes comes from the port nearest to the booster, and the rear wheels from the port nearest the headlights. The M/C is stepped 23mm bore for the front brakes and 19 for the rears.

Awesome! You could not have answered my question better - thanks much.

Wow... nice find in the manual, thanks Chris. I'm surprised I didn't get one of these from anyone:

You won't get that from me.

Anyway, I dream of the library.
