Title: proporptioning valve need replacement
Post by: hellfirejim on March 11, 2009, 05:20:03 PM
My 75 has just had the brakes and brake lines done front and rear and then the proportioning vlave started to leak.  I understand this is a pretty common problem.  So what do I do.  Can a new one be bought?  Is there a substitue that will work that can be bought over the counter?  Do i have to find a a used one?

i have the car in the shop and I really need some answers please.

thanks
jim

More information, it is leaking out the electrical connection.

I have a used one that is fine, from a 1976 model. Let me know if this will work for you.
