[Chevelle-list] brake conversion

[Rick Schaefer]

   Does the prop valve look like this one:
http://www.inlinetube.com/images/Prop%20Valves/pr106.jpg   that is the
button on the left.      My GM service manual (for 72) says that button
needs to be pushed in when bleeding rear brakes.   They have an
explaination, but honestly its been so long that I can't remember the
details.   Something to do with the auto shut off of fluid (safety feature)
 if you get a leak at either the front or rear I think.
