Proportional valve and meter block
« on: April 04, 2012 - 09:36:26 AM »
Hello,     Anyone got a diagram of the brake lines from Master C down to prop and meter valve. The 70 Cuda Manual page 5-59 shows it, but not the front side, I know one gets blocked of  ( disc conversion on front ) Thanks

Great  Have you got the top port at the front Blocked off?. If so, the one below that is for the rear, going throughout to the Braided one in your pic, I have the same set up, and no fliuld going to rear, had it at inlet, not outlet ?

yep there is a small bolt blocking it!! Also you need the valve for the drivers side frame rail under the pedals. I will bleed them today after the dash and wiring if I have time today!
 I will post a pic in a few mins.

Thanks for pic, You say there is another valve too on frame rail ?  My line from back came right along and perfect fit to Prop valve ?

Yep it puts a delay on the brakes to prevent unproprtion braking at the rear.

 it is also in the 70 service manual for front disk rear drum application on a barracuda stock design. Inline tube breake lines are split this valve.

I am by no means an expert but I thought I had read some where if your build date was after 1/1/70  you didn't have the valve on the frame rail.
I thought this came from Barry Washington, I will try to look around here or the Hamtramck Registry and see what I can find.
