[Chevelle-list] brake conversion

[Jim & Chris]

That proportioning valve looks exactly like the one I took out for the 4 wheel drum and does not have any button but the new one which mounts just below and to the right of the resivior is longer and has a button on the front. I will take a pic and send it . thanks, Jimmy .C

     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.

      Did you bench bleed the master cylinder first? Does your proportioning valve have a button on the front? If so depress that first.
