    Brake Proportioning/Combination Valves

    Started a new thread for "searchability", keeping it
    separate from my brake and suspension
    upgrade/rebuild which is here



    Valves I've looked at so far.

    Check out the deal on 73-79 Ford F250/F350 Front Disc/Rear Drums Brake Proportion Valve w/ Sensor Wire at Carolina Classic Trucks, Inc.




    Appears to be a true combination valve, but is also Chevy
    based and not very period correct looking. At least it is new,
    but not always a good thing if made in china.

    70's truck combination valve. I have one that
    came off a working 78 bronco.





    Also a true combination valve.

    80's fox body.



    I have one of these also, from an 84 fox LTD LX (5.0)
    Looks like they eliminated metering to front disks.
    Not sure why in the 80's ford suddenly decided
    that part of the valve was no longer needed.

    I am leaning towards the 70's truck one.
    I like the cast iron look and it is a real ford
    part (even if really, really, old).

    I recognize that valve as a GM-type, not Ford. To be more accurate, I don't believe Ford or GM ever made any of these valves as they were 'purchased parts'.

    Piratejack.net sells the valve you show for under $60 (including a bleeder tool). This is a common MBM part, known as a brass PV-2. I'm not promoting any particular vendor but I always welcome suggestions for this valve at more attractive prices. Anywhere near a hundred bucks it outrageous.

    Don't forget to buy the pigtail for the electrical connection. - Dave
