A friend is changing over his front drums to disc brakes on his 70 cuda. I see inline tube sells the proper valve to do this. Would someone have a reference picture of this valve mounted on the car? Also there is another hold off valve shown in their product picture. How does this valve mount? The picture shows this small valve but I do not see a mounting bracket. Thanks John.

The car has 11 inch drums in the rear. That is a great picture. I do not have a factory service manual handy, would someone have an illustration for a 70 -71 cuda disc brake car ? Thanks John.

I avoid the In-Line brand proportioning valve (PV) has too many issues from leaks to non functioning, to stuck valve assys, buy the one from FINELINES

here's a few photos

IIRC FINELINES uses the same PN# as IN-LINE TUBE, part is from the same oversea vendor (China repro) but FINELINES disassembles and rebuilds/tests the unit prior to shipping to customer because of the known issues with this valve, IN-Line Tube just repackages it for resale

I also swapped a front disc set up from a 70 cuda to another 70 cuda with an automatic floor shift, my problem is that the rear proportional valve bolts into the frame in the same spot that the reverse lock out z-bar bracket attaches to I think? that picture I would like to see if anyone has that combination..

If Im not mistaken fine lines no longer sells them, You might try MP brakes.

AARConv, I believe the valve bolts on farther back than the lockout linkage. In this pic of my car you can see the tapped bolt holes for the linkage bracket ahead of the valve.

Yeah, it's hopped up to over 160...
