10lb rpv is an aftermarket item sold for the drum half of a brake system in a street rod where the M/C is under the floor or otherwise much lower than the std firewall location & is installed inline in the line to the drums

The drums always need a residual valve of some kind, even when the MC is up on the stock location on the firewall.
car companies got away from using residual valves a long time ago by putting a spring in the wheel cylinder instead. It keeps a slight constant pressure on the cups, keeping them from leaking.

Hi!
When looking at a stock E or late 60s B body factory brake system...
where is the 10 lb residual valve for the rear drums located at?
All I can see on my E Bodies is the proportioning valve, the metering valve attached to the bracket right beside the residual valve and then all the plum,big all the way back to the rear end where it goes into the distribution block at the rear end which is held by the vent on the rear end housing....
but I dont see any 10 lb residual valve for the rear drums!!!
SCHOOL ME PLEASE.
If you are talking about your 69 Hemi charger with FRONT DISC brakes there is an extra valve , is it a 10lb ??? , in the REAR line AFTER the distribution block on the frame rail , you buy a 2 piece rear line and it will be apparent where the valve mounts.

That's the proportioning valve. The RP valve (or valves on drum cars) are located, as was mentioned, in the master behind the tube seat. Not needed with any rear wheel cyls mfg for 1975 or later, in fact, after that, Ma Mopar did away with 'em completely.
