using a disc brake proportioning valve on rear drum brakes?
the 91 drum rear proportioning valve has a brake line in the wrong place and I am not sure I can bend my original line to get to it. basically my 84 proportioning valve has a line coming out the front and this same line needs to go to the bottom on the 91 proportioning valve. Or could I simply replace the disc proportioning valves spring with the 91 drums spring. Or will the drums work fine with the disc proportioning valve..
need a quik answer on this.

You can bend the stock line to screw into the prop valve. It uses the same fitting/threads and everything. All that needs to change is the bending of the rear brake line.
