Installation of "rear" Prop-Valve (adjustable):
>place Valve where Driver can access and mount it
>make new Hydraulic Line from Master Cylinder(rear brakes) to "in" of Prop
Valve
>make new line from "out" of Prop Valve to Rear Brakes(manifold?)
>Bleed lines (check for leaks also)
>inspect if Brakes are working properly (jack car up)
>adjust Prop Valve when necessary
Grinding Brake Pads?.....don't know about that,remember they act as Heat Sinks
also.
grounded ones can heat up first due to less material.
Smaller Diameter Wheel Master Cylinders?
> so they move more for less Fluid/pressure.

That's what I thought. Do Mustangs normally have a rear lockup problem? Do
you still have the OE Mustang proportioning valve under the master cylinder?
I'm just curious, because I ended up pulling my adjustable prop valve out of
the Firebird because I couldn't get enough pressure to the rear. There has
been discussion of gutting the OE prop valve, THEN adding an adjustable valve
in the rear line... If I know more about your Mustang system, I can ask the
Mustang guys on the CP List.
