Nope i wrote that how its going to be. My adjustable prop valve from wilwood has 5 ports in it. I see why it would be confusing because it sounds like most prop valves only go on the rear braking system.

The ports are:

Front In
Rear In
Front Out
Front Out
Rear Out

So i guess to word it properly i will come out of the front system on the master, into the line lock, then the front of the prop, on the rear i will come out of ther rear part of the master into the prop valve, should be super easy.

Very interesting prop valve! I've never seen one with all those distribution ports. Mine is a simple one in one out setup. Looks like it's got a brake switch on it also if needed.

A stock distribution block has the same number of ins and outs as well as the switch. But that Wilwood block also has a built-in adjustable prop valve.
Makes it a cleaner and easier install in lieu of having a separate valve. I kinda like the way that looks.

That was the one I was thinking of. It looks like the stock one. Maybe the prebent lines may work with it. At the same time having the **** next to me would be cool too. The Summit brand is the exact same minus the Wilwood logo.

Since the prop valve has 2 front output ports, how would you configure it with the line lock valve? You'd have to have it between the master cylinder and the front inlet port on the prop valve/distributions block, wouldn't you?

Yep that's exactly how I will do it.

Just found out that my work plans have changed. I thought I was heading back right after I'm done down here in Arizona but I may not be heading back until the end of the month now. If this happens I will work on the car a bit more.

I have the Summit brand, and it looks nothing like that one! Is there more than one Summit brand? I've got the G3905 Summit. Don't see anything in their catalog that looks like Sudstoy's prop valve?

Wow my memory is going. I am thinking I like the Wilwood better.


Ok here is the Summit one.


Which is a knock off of SSBC. Which looks like this.

All the Summit branded parts are just name brand items with their name on it. Unlike some companies who have stuff specifically made in lesser quality to sell under their brand name, Summit brand is always good stuff.
