Dude Im asking almost the exact same thing in my post on this page, however, I can tell you that a proportioning valve is a small gadget that helps you adjust the amount of pressure going to your rear brakes. I have one to put on my 68 Bird because I did a front disc brake conversion. Rear brakes drum brakes require a different amount of pressure than front disc brakes do.

Two places. On a bracket that hangs it just below the master cylinder, or down on the frame in the same area of where the clutch linkage would be, mounted on the inside of the frame.

Under the topic "brake system question" I posted some pictures of my proportioning valve. The '66 GTO looks the same. Also if you have a copy of Zazarines "Pontiac Restoration Manual", look on pages 212-219. If you don't have a copy, get one at your local book store. It's indispensible if you are restoring a car.

So....Then the portioning valve takes the place of the brass block that bolts to the frame under the master cylinder?
If so what year and make of car can I use on my 66??

Yes. The prop valve will replace the brass distribution block you have now. Use one from a '69-'72 A-body.

A-body:
'64-'72 GTO, Chevelle, Skylark, 442, Monte Carlo and clones. Again, get the prop valve from a '69-'72. A/G-body: '78-'87 LeMans, Cutlass, Malibu and clones.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
