Time for brakes
I'm going disc/disc on my 47 Ford. I have a mid-90s Mustang GT M/C and prop valve. Could I put an adjustable prop valve on the line running to the back and call it good?

Shine's done a lot more hot rod & muscle car builds than me, but I've found an adjustable PV to be helpful in balancing front to back braking. All OEM vehicles use a non-adjustable proportioning valve, and it is engineered to work properly with the specific front and rear brakes that are on that vehicle, as well as the vehicle front/rear weight balance and tire sizes used. To me an adjustable valve can't hurt, and may help. Just my $0.02.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups.
a deuce will just need manual brakes with an adjuster. just like a race car.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
