If that is for a disc brake car the little button labeled "what's this" is to be pushed down when using a power bleeder.

I think your front lines are switched left/right. The one in the rear is usually for the driver side, but I don't see how it would make a difference anyways. Also on any car i worked on, the part labeled "what's this" was for the brake light pressure switch and the thing at the back wasn't hooked to anything, but I suppose they could swap places depending on who made it?

The What's this is the Brake light switch. If either circuit fails the valve inside moves and trips the switch.

Here is the pigtail it uses availabld from inline tubes.

And what you have marked as the Brake switch is the metering valve. Under the first 10-15 lbs of pressure it should move.

I think he's right about the front lines too, Dr side on top & pass-side on bottom.

Brake switch on top ..correct.

Rearmost port to the rear brakes.

The boss on the bottom near the rear port is the actual proportioning for the rears.

Technically the factory called this a combination valve since it incorporated the proportioning & metering valves of earlier years when they were separate pieces.

So other than the front lines switched I'm right? I thought the probe on the back was for the "idiot light" Seems that's where the wire and plug would go???

Like said the light goes to top.The back where you thought the light goes was called a pull offf.There was a tool to lift it when you power bled the brakes.It should move when the brakes are hooked up and working not much but it moves.Just look at it how would the socket ever fit or be retained on it.Look at a temp sender it has threads kinda like the piece on the top of the valve.Rocky
