Re: This year's project - brakes

The brakes just have not been good - I'm almost positive my vacuum booster had gone out. I weigh 225, and I'd been having to stand on the pedal to get it to stop. I've previously gone through the brakes completely within the last two years - rotors, drums, everything has been replaced. I figured if I'm having to replace the vac booster, I may as well convert to hydro anyhow.


Moot point now - the hydro assembly has been installed. I'm just waiting on a set of new power steering hoses. The new hydro assembly came with a new adjustable proportioning valve, so I need to get my old hard brake lines plumbed into that.

I'm assuming my old proportioning valve needs to be uninstalled, correct? That way I'm using only the new adjustable? I've read that having two proportioning valves can cause weird problems
