Hello!
It's a little bit difficult to describe for me on english, but I will try.
I own a 69' Camaro with original front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. No proportioning valve for the drums (why?).
My new setup:
I installed one ajustable proprtioning valve for the front disc and aone for the rear drums, because i want to install discs at the rear next year.
I didn't install the metering valve (the valve in the lines for the FRONT brakes) and the pressure differnetial warning any more.
New situation:
I have no "hard point for braking" when I depress the brake pedal. It is soft for a way of 2", then there's a pressure built up, but a poor braking performance.
From a speed of approx 30 mph the front brakes not lock up.
First question: Is this setup ok or should I have to install the other valves again?
One more problem:
On the left front side the bleeding screw at the brake caliber is broken.
So I have to deinstall the caliber, loosen the brake hose for bleeding. This is not a very good way but I don't know something better. Ok, installing a new one will be the best. Perhaps there's still air in the front lines.
I will try to do a better bleeding, but I also want to know if the technical setup => One adjustable proportioning valve for thr front and one for the rear without any others should work!
