Bear in mind that the later cars, 68 and up, had a dual master cylinder on
the brake system. If you go that route, it is a good idea to change out the
proportioning valve as well so that you have the redundant system...The
later valves have a shuttle valve in them to allow for brakes on 2 wheels
in the event of a leak. Gerard can bring you up to speed on this and likely
can supply the parts.

But it isn't a proportioning valve.  It's simply a device that tells you if t=
he front and/or rear brakes have a leak.  I like the way it tells you AFTER y=
ou step on the pedal and it goes to the floor that you have a problem.  Duh.=
  :-)

There was a thread (sorry Jay) a few days ago on another forum about removin=
g the valve altogether to eliminate a possible leak.  You still run separate=
 front and rear lines but just eliminate the next to worthless warning light=
 shuttle valve.   =20

I may be wrong on the nomenclature but if you look at #48 on the Moss
diagram, that is what I am talking about.

http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=3D29302

The earlier cars with disk brakes had a single M/C and no shuttle valve in
the proportioning valve. Depending on what Jim F. has to work with, he may
need to know that there is a difference between the early and late disk
brake systems.

In a sense the name proportional valve appears to be correct as the influx
of hydraulic pressure enters the union and is distributed equally among the
four lines running to the four corners of the car.
