Hey Guys and gals,

I plumbed in my hard lines and hooked up the power booster and master cylinder this weekend for my disc/drum setup, BUT in a schematic provided, I noticed they had a 10 lb residual valve plumb for the rear drum brakes???...
I think I know why they did this to prevent rear wheel lock up, but I wasn't sure if I needed to do this or is it in the prop valve??

Anyone done this???...if so, got any pics and where did you install this??
on the prop valve or closer to the rear axle??

Any help is much appreciated!
