RE: Dual Master Cylinder Proportioning Valve

[v8magic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

There seems to be some confusion concerning the distribution blocks. I've
seen several posts that refer to it as the "proportioning valve". The only
function of that big old block is to enable splitting the distribution to
all four wheels and in later systems, to create some additional safety in
the system by keeping the front brakes hydraulically separate from the rear
brakes.

Richard Ehrenberg had an excellent article in the April 2004 issue of MOPAR
Action that covered elimination of the distribution block. I urge everyone
to give that article a nice long read.

I hope that helps.
