What Does a Proportioning Valve Do | Wilwood Brakes

[@squeak56]

Finally a simple explanation 😅

[@Dwigt_Rortugal]

So, if I understand correctly, normally turning any valve clockwise closes it, but with Wilwood valves, it's the opposite? The Wilwood rep said that all the way clockwise is wide open to the rear brakes. I'll watch it again.

Speedway you are the best! I think that pickups are worse as drums can lock and cause. You are changing one area from the proportioning valves hold-off pressure and the pressure point which effects the apply pressures. Keep the videos coming. DK, Omaha.

[@javierargumedo3]

any idea how to wire proportioning valve switch? there is 2 wires.

[@thetxwildchild]

Nobody ever talks about what if you need more break to the rear... Will this give you more break versus a fixed proportioning valve?

[@wheelmanvicful]

Good info

[@GummyMann]

his instructions on how to set the valve are backwards according to the willwood instructions

[@elbergasjason494]

i was gonna say the same thing

A general question about a master cylinder bore size range……without complicated formulas…..runnning a 6 pot and 4 pot calipers on a 3/4 t 56 travel-all…..?

Hi. I have a set of Wilwood Disc Brakes. And a Proportioning valve installed. I am confused of how far do I have to screw in the valve. Shall I Unscrew it all out or Half-Way please? Thanks in Advance.

so for drum drum 2 10lb checks for front and rear?

[@craig7350]

You can oil your rear drums up too, that will prevent them from locking up.

Great tip! Ever since my axle seals started leaking my brakes have worked much better.

I like a couple quick sprays with wd40

What would be a good adjustment im running full wilwood brake system full qa1 level 2 Ford 9inch with 3.0 gears on a 26 inch wheel im trying to do a simple burn out an the car want to keep going Whats your idea setting for the Proportion val also I have a 383 stroker paired with a th350 any tip or trick would be greatly appreciated

[@p.b.sHUNTING]

There is no number setting…. It’s an adjustment dial

[@Archangel3083]

What if you have a pedal box with bias bar and dual masters? Would this still be an added benefit for further adjustment?

[@RRninja-jq6lp]

Balance bar is fairly limited range. In pedal box system , you use master cylinder size as coarse adjustment, proportioning valve for set-up , than balance bar for fine tuning to driver preference

[@Jozay562]

Awesome. Good to know.

Just wanted to add that this is on a Ford Mustang 1970 Mach 1
