Re: Afraid my proportioning valve is stuck


 

I have a proportioning/combination valve on my 77. Has the warning switch on it.?

As far as I know, there is no separate proportioning valve on the 4 drum brake C-Car¡¯s.? I would say your problem most likely is in the master cylinder.? This should be an easy replacement as that cylinder was used on many years by AMC and Studebaker as well.?? Rebuild kits as well as new ones should still be available at NAPA.? However the rubber brake lines are also something you should look into first as they would be much cheaper to start with .

You might be able to tell I'm a very experienced mechanic (Sarcasm).

It sounds like proportioning valves only balance between the front and back brakes. Is that still true for the CCars?

If it is, my valve probably isn't the issue. What could it be, then?
