Brake question - front equalizer valve

Guest

Up against a stumbling block.

Rebuilt the stock calipers - nothing hanging up.

Rebuilt the Master cylinder and the cleaned up the proportioning valve block.

Took apart and cleaned the front brake equalizer valve - I believe I put it back together correctly but here is were if anyone has a diagram for how the front brake equalizer valve should go back together I would love ya to death for it!

The reason I ask this is that is now that I have everything together and I have bled the brakes I still get no front brakes! The only thing I can think of is that I must have put the front brake equalizer valve together incorrectly.

Can anyone help?

email me at dclark@pssd.com

Thanks

Why don't you just remove the front equalizer or pressure reducing valve? You will have a huge increase in brake performance. Another thing you can do is take the guts out of it and weld up or plug the hole in the bottom essentially making it a Tee fitting.

Appreciate the insight BD!..... Actually removing the unit completely is exactly what I am going to be doing. After speaking with Bob Byars at Precision Proformance and Marino Perna at Pantera East each said the same thing. The valve was a good idea back in the 70's but todays tires are a great deal better and so the valve essentially is no longer needed.

I tell you it is a relief to hear as it cleans up that front compartment.

Take care Dave
