I did a search and found some info, but nothing that seemed to fit. Converted a 1969 drum brake car to ZO6 front calipers/rear drums. Somebody recommended that we install a prop valve. Had one installed, along with pre-bent lines to fit, and a master cyl for a front disc brake Chevelle. Within a week the back brakes locked up. The left rear brake released, then the right rear, throwing the car into a skid.
Had brakes inspected and inspector said rear brakes showed excessive heat and discoloration, possibly due to incorrect brake line pressure to rear brakes.
I found a post that said the 1969 Chevelles don't use a prop valve, but rather a metering or check valve (can't remember which now).
Is that the problem? The prop valve is less than an inch from the exhaust header. Is that a problem? Thanks.
