what the prop valve does is prevent the front brakes from applying until the rear drums are applied.

this keeps the car from nosediving during braking applications and also provide a safer stop in slick conditions.

if the braking distance hasn't changed much i'd look at other possible issues with the system first.

post what you used to convert this car over to discs [system or peices] and maybe we can provide a solution.

there are some members who have done a conversion and not used a prop valve. they're happy with the way their car stops but i wouldn't recommend this.
