Proportioning valve for 87 iroc with rear disc breaks

I heard that the 14089497 is the correct part number. It’s officially discontinued. Does anyone know wher I can find one?

FlynBye.com might have one if you're lucky. Otherwise it's the junk yard. And no rebuild kits available that I know of.

By the way, my valve is leaking out of the back hole (that looks like a bleeder). Any idea why it would?

i put the stock spring back in the front and now it seems to have stopped leaking. Anyone seen this issue before? I used the 19lb spring per the famous iTunes video on how to have third gen rear brakes work better.
