Prop valve question
I have full C5 brake setup, for my 65 mailbu. My question applies to the hydraulic side of things. Car had a front disc conversion setup from previous owner. Still factory reardrums.

I bought a Wilwood adjustableprop valve to use for rear. My question is can I add that in line after thevalve that is on the m/c now. Or do I need to bypass that, and use only Wilwoodto rear. or Other

I've done a few C5 front and 2000 Camaro rear disc brake swaps.
Not sure of the difference between the Camaro and Corvette rear calipers but I've always used a Wilwood adjustable proportioning plumbed into the rear line.
My research tells me is that the front port on the C5 master is for the rear brakes.
Keep in mind the C5 master is metric bubble flare and the Wilwood valve is inverted flare so you will need adapters. Also the front and rear lines are different sizes.

My question more is the function of the current proportioning valve, in addition to Wilwood.
I've been warned possibly they won't play nice together, so really more clarity on function of whats on it would be mostly what im after.

I would delete the stock proportioning valve. It was intended for rear drum brakes. Just my opinion.
