| Post subject: | Adjustable Proportioning Valve Install Location |
Hi Gang, I'm going to do my disc brake conversion this weekend (66 Dart). I need to verify where the adjustable proportioning valve goes. I have a dual pot master cylinder...and the adjustable proportioning valve goes in the REAR brake line AFTER the factory proportioning valve, right? Also, will I run into any trouble using a power brake booster in my brake setup where I have manual disc brakes in the front and drums in the rear? Thanks, Tom |

You are correct on the prop valve location. I've seen people put them between the MC and the factory prop valve, but I've always done it the other way and I know that works well. If you have an Abody, I don't think there's any reason to have power brakes, especially with the adj prop valve to balance things (reduced pedal pressure). If you want it, I think everything should be fine. Lou |

My '65, brakes nice and straight without a adjustable valve. I used all stock parts. A master cylinder from a '80 Volare with manual disk brakes, front rotors and calibers from a '75 Dart, rear brakes from a '75 Dart, proportioning valve from a '73 Dart. The '73 valve was recommeded from somebody who had done the conversion several times, as being the "best" one to use. He had tried several differant ones, including 1/2 ton PU. |
