Weird One...

at least to me.

Thought my daughter's 82 had a bad caliper because it kept locking up on me. Got it changed out and still had trubs. Looks like the proportioning valve went heywire on me. Never had one go bad on me before. Took a while to isolate it to that.

Just some more ramblings. I'd like to shoot the guy that put the darn thing down under the radiator area. Took forever to get those lines and stuff off.

Hopefully we'll be road worthy again Monday when the new one comes in.

replace the front hoses before you even think about messing with the prop valve. maybe $10 a piece, and are available at any parts store, vs god knows how much for the prop valve.
