RE: IML: Dual master seeks Brake Proportioning Valve

["Rob McCall" <Rob_Mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kenyon,

Trial and error using good judgment.  As someone else mentioned, you use a
deserted road or parking lot.  

It was covered very thoroughly in the August 2005 issue of Mopar Action
Magazine.

Subject: Re: IML: Dual master seeks Brake Proportioning Valve

If one buys an adjustable proportioning valve, how
does one go about calibrating the adjustment so that
the brakes are applied evenly?  My imagination fails.

They sell them, and all the hotrod folks talk about
them, so there must be something to it, but it seems
to me that when you mix/match parts that were
originally designed to be mated with other components,
that you are in unknown territory, mathematically
speaking.

Did the brake assembies come from a vendor or from
under the shade tree?  If they came from a vendor,
what do they have to say about the prudence/correct
adjustment of such a valve?
