Brake proportioning valve

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

I'm afraid Josh is correct on a car w/ rear drums. Without the
proportioning valve, braking is rather squirrely (trust me -- I've
tried it). On 4 wheel disc however does not seem to be necessary (I've
done that too, but it *IS* a 5,000 pound Lincoln). Guess it's because
hydraulic fluid is self adjusting.
