Yes, you can. I ran a T up front, and a adj prop valve for the rear sticking through by the drivers seat.

I am having a problem where my brakes work too good and I can't heel toe like before. I just touch the brakes trying to heel toe and the brakes just bite down hard. I have Dr. Diff's 13" kit in front Cobra discs in back and hydroboost, will an adjustable proportioning valve dial this out?
Thanks
I'm considering hydoboost as well at some point. I have read from others that it's better to use the bell crank from the stock power brakes set up when using the hydroboost set up? Makes then less "touchy" they say? No first hand experience just thought I'd pass that along?

what size master cylinder? I'm assuming it's pretty large, so your pedal throw will be quite short.
If you want to heel toe again (and you want to keep your hydroboost), you should adjust your pedal heights to where the brake is closer to the gas pedal height at threshold braking.
I have manual brakes - 15/16" master - has a decent pedal throw (correct for heel toe when threshold braking, though well shy of heel toe reach when normal braking). That's obviously the other option.

I'm using the Wilwood adjuster. Removed the stock valve and put the new one in it's place.
very cool - I didn't even know about this, I bought their inline one.

this. But I assume he probably knows this already if he does heel toe braking.
Thanks for the info guys! I can now finish my brake lines on my days off next week

I'm using the Wilwood adjuster. Removed the stock valve and put the new one in it's place. I know this is super old, but thanks for the picture and the idea. I was just about to order an in-line proportioning valve for my 4 piston brake conversion, but this is a heck of a lot slicker looking. Just ordered myself one and will mount it in place of the stock splitter.

Im still into the simple inline next to the driver seat method personally. Maybe when I build my 69 Coronet AutoX'er... the 69 Satellite wagon is just a cruiser that may see the AutoX course once or twice.

Not knocking you or the Wilwood, that thing is on about everything I see guys building these days. It has its place and takes the guesswork out of "which proportioning valve do I need..."
