There seems to be a lot of issues with parts listed as fitting, but then actually being a gong show and incorrect when people try and actually install them. That's why I'm checking to see if anybody has actually purchased and installed any of these, not just trusting the web listing for fitment...

Hey everyone, Is this the unit I need? Is there any other source that might have it without the big shipping cost? Is this just an internet reseller situation? Thanks?!

Hey FABO, Help Please! Well it seems the inevitable has occurred: The mechanic is convinced the Brake Booster is dead! So where do I go to get a factory correct booster to replace my dead one? I saw a comment on FABO about a shop in California that does rebuilds on them and sent an email but...

I had been told by numerous folks that the larger reservoir on the Disc side of the MC would also be set up to push more fluid to the calipers whereas the smaller wheel cylinders would get less fluid and that the MC would basically be proportioning it at the source and so the D.Block would be...

I'll try and get by the mechanics in the next few days to take a picture. I live downtown and don't have access to a garage where I can have a car in pieces, so I have ended up farming out work these days. The aftermarket P.Valve was plumbed in like the old D.Valve and worked fine for a few...

Larger rear tires. Automatic transmission.

Aftermarket P Valve is out to try and go back to more stock setup and avoid the extra leak points. I'm wondering if a NOS Proportioning valve might be the solution?

I started one this afternoon! Take a look and weigh in! All advice accepted gladly!

It seems like the $35 unit from Summit is sort of weeping out every port, since original installation. Does anyone know who stocks an appropriate Proportioning valve that would plumb into the location where my current (possibly compromised) Distribution Block is located? And also have a correct...

I had a front disc brake conversion done on my '68 Dart and the brakes seemed OK for a while, the guy who did the swap pulled my Distribution Block and plumbed in an aftermarket adjustable Proportioning Valve (which started leaking almost immediately). I recently bought a new Disc/Drum correct...

Fair point. I sort of thought the OP and I had a fairly similar problem and I wondered if maybe the diagnostics might not apply to both of us and solve two birds with one stone. I suppose the question about the plumbing connections on the distribution block might be worthy of its own post.

I'm not trying to hijack the thread but here goes as this may be related to the OP's question: I had a front disc brake conversion done on my '68 Dart and the brakes seemed OK for a while, the guy who did the swap pulled my Distribution Block and plumbed in an aftermarket adjustable...

Or is it that all the warning lamp switches also serve as proportioning valves in some capacity? Can anybody clear up my confusion on this one? Thanks in advance..

Thanks for the reply. I dug around in my reprint of a service manual and I think what I have is strictly a warning lamp switch, not an actual proportioning valve! Although all the brake lines do run through it before exiting to various wheel cylinders. Hijack my own post now: I wonder if I...
