      Proportioning valve

      I am installing four wheel discs on my 64 Buick Special. It has 13" C4 fronts and 1987 Corvette rears. Do I need a valve? Thanks

      Yes.
      At the very least, get a disc-disc combination valve from a place like stainless steel brakes. The combo valve has the safety lockout feature and warning light in case one of your brake lines breaks.
      You *really* will want an adjustable prop valve as well to tune the bias and get the most out of your braking.
