1. Whats the best way to clean up a used proportioning valve?
2.Is there a easy way to tell if the valve is any good?
3.And who rebuilds these parts?

The lack of planning on your part does not justify a emergency on my part.

You can safely clean brake parts with alcohol. Alcohol will clean the inside surfaces and rubber parts better. When done, make sure all the alcohol is out by flushing with brake fluid.

One way to test is to only plumb one side, and hook a continuity tester to it. When you pressurize one side, the safety valve should trip, making the meter beep.

White Post Restorations is an excellent source for brake repair/rebuilding. I just got back my booster/master cylinder and proportioning valve back on my 69 GTO. Quality of work is outstanding. Call Billy Thompson(owner)and get his recommendations. If you want first class work I highly recommend them. Jimmy

I called whitepost they are near me. but they wanted $475. To rebuild my booster and master. I'm not trying to do a concourse car. So I'll probley get a booster and proportioning valve from ebay. Or master power brakes for half the price and only pay shipping one way

Thanks Glen
