    porportioning valve question

     



    How close is too close for headers to be next to the porportioning valve? Just installed hooker headers on an 87 cutlass supreme with a chevy 350 engine. The header comes about 1/4 inch from the prop valve. Is shielding enough or should it be relocated?

    heat makes things expand .. you think maybe being that close the fluid will heat up and expand putting residual pressure on your brakes ..
