Inline Tube offers this set up for most cars that are converting to disc brakes. The valve is neatly tucked under the
master and away from header heat on the GM A-bodies. The valve is available in the Disc/Drum version and the four
wheel Disc version. The brass construction prevents rust and the bracket holds it securely in place. Inline Tube also
offers disc brake conversion line sets for most of the more common applications.
The adjustable proportioning valve is usually used to tune in brakes. The valve goes in the back brake line affecting
only the rear brakes. The valve reduces pressure to prevent the tires from locking up. If the car is running wider tires
in the back and narrow tires in the front there is now more surface area in the back causing the rear drums to do all
the stopping. This valve reduces pressure to even out the brakes. This valve is also ideal to be used with the
distribution block shown earlier. The distribution block provides equal pressure to all four wheels and again this valve
goes in the rear line to reduce the pressure to the rear brakes. Ideally the front brakes should be getting 70% and the
rears 30%. On four wheel disc applications 50/50 is normal.
Inline Tube can help with all your disc brake and valve needs. Valves are available new for most applications and
your unanswered questions are only a phone call away.
