Proprotioning valve location
I am running Wilwood 6 piston up front and 4 piston in the rear. I was wondering if the location of the adjustable proportioning valve matters. Does it need to be closeer to the master cylinder? or can I place it somewhere near the rear of the vehicle. This is on my 68 camaro. Any help would be appreciated.

Anywhere in the main rear line - after the distribution block and before the split - would work. Mine is under the hood near the MC. I figured lt would be subjected to less road grime that way, but doubt that it would affect the valve.

The location does not matter. Mount it where you like.

I mounted mine at the line just to the rear of my seat. My line just happens to pass on the drivers side. I mounted it so the shaft of the adjuster knob goes through the floor. I think I removed the knob to keep the hole small. Then reattached the knob. So I can drop my left hand to just behind the seat and turn the knob while still seated in the car. I thought it would make it nice to be able to adjust the bias while seated in the car. Works good so far. JR

Might not be a good idea if you have kids that will ride in the back seat! Sorry, but that is the first thing that entered my mind. lol

Mine is mounted to a bracket that I welded to the floor just under the front edge of the driver's seat. I can adjust it on the fly, if need be.

If you can, mount it such the fittings are vertical - makes it easier to bleed.
