Adjustable prop valve adjustments?

[Lars]

I have A body discs on the front and E body drums on the rear of my Dart. Since I was worried about the system being out of balance I put an adjustable valve on the mainline right before the axle. Where is a good starting point for adjusting this thing?

Thanks

I would start with it just about fully closed (almost no pressure to the rears). Then test (full lock up situation, may want to have wet pavement) then open slightly and then test and repeat until the rear brakes lock up before the fronts. Once the rears lock before the fronts, close it back to the previous adjustment. Done

E body drums? What size drums? It really should not be any trouble unless you went from 9 - 11 inchs. There could be a bit of a out of balance brakeing. I did on my duster and it was a huge improvement. The fronts are still 9 inch drums, the rears are 11 inchs, off a '78 Cordoba.

MNo issues.

10X3 I think, they are pretty big.
