Brakes are tricky things to get to work correctly. Proportioning valves work with set parameters that are known by the car builders... like front and rear weight, wheel cylinder sizes, front disk size, etc. You could buy a real adjustable valve from an aftermarket place like Summit Racing, for example, and fine tune YOUR system to your vehicle. The fixed valves from specific models may not do what you wish. Check out a Chrysler parts book and you will find there were many proportioning valves, each to fit a certain situation. In general, you might be OK with what you install. It is kinda like insurance. All car insurance is good until you need it. At least try it out on a lightly graveled parking area to see which end locks up first, before you throw the family in and go for a highway run on a rainy day. The question is: If it doesn't work like you think it should, how will you fix it? Just my two cents, Tom 1957 Dodge in southern Ohio -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Calendars are still available.
