Re: [Chevelle-list] brake conversion
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 - Original Message - From: Rick Schaefer To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 10:11 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] brake conversion Does the prop valve look like this one: http://www.inlinetube.com/images/Prop%20Valves/pr106.jpg that is the button on the left.

Re: [Chevelle-list] brake conversion
Jimmy
I had the same problem when I did my '71. It ended up that there was a
build-up of rust behind the bleed valves on the rear drums. I was able to use a
small wire to break the rust loose and bleed them as they should. Good luck.

[Chevelle-list] Brake conversion
Iam getting ready to order my parts for a front end disc brake conversion. The place iam ordering from offers a 9 or 11 inch booster. which one do i need for my 70?. what sre the advantages of one over the other. Thank You Bob.
Re: [Chevelle-list] Brake conversion
The 11 inch booster is original on the chevelle but will interfear with tall valve covers if you are running a big block. not sure if the 9 inch will clear or not. I know the small aftermarket styles will give you plenty of room.
