More brake questions. 74 plymouth scamp with disc brakes in front and 8 1/4 11 inch drums in the rear. I need a proportioning valve but I haven't found one on AMD or Classic Industries. Anybody know where to find one?
 

Assume you're asking about an adjustable valve and not a stock-type valve, in which case y'might get a better result without having to buy or faff around with a prop valve, this way.
 
Dr. Diff has both adjustable and factory-style prop valves.

Yes everybody, some A body 8.25 rears came through with 11" brakes. I've got 2 of them. Scuttlebutt has it that the factory would substitute 11" when the line ran out of 10" brake assemblies. You won't find that in any parts catalog.
 
If yur running big tires on the back, you may not require a valve.
I have a 68 Barracuda with
KH discs on the front with 235/60-14s, AND
On the back are 10"drums and 295/50-15s.
With no P-valve. I also ran this with 275s and no valve.
This is by far, the best stopping car that I've ever owned.

I did however downsize the rear wheel cylinders, one size.
But I can't recall where I ended at.

I also installed braided lines on the front. Holy cow what a difference that made.
And yes, I do run a booster, one off an F-body or a 73 Dart; I forget which. Works great!
 
Years ago, I ran 74 Disc up front with 11" rear with 1974 factory Proportioning valve with no issues. I like the idea of downsizing the wheel cylinders though. I am now running the same 11" drums on my Hardtop with Willwood disc brake up front with a 68 proportioning valve.
Maybe just add an adjustable in line on the rears if you need to.
