With the rear, is it a MUST to put in a prop valve or is it just recomended, but not really need? I have drums, and I wana just swap out the whole rear with a 4th gen's and wanted to know if its a must to put a prop valve in. If so, about where do you think it should go? closer to the rear, or closer to the mast. cyl? Thanks

Your stock one will work.

Hey there Al. It's not necessarily a "must" but the factory manual says it needs to be changed, esp on the '88-older cars, like your '87. I do know there are guys using their stockers and hving no problems, I just changed mine to be ****. I'd say test it and see how you like it before you swap it out.

Hey Ed, hows the wife?

thanks man. Im more talking about an inline prop valve like one you can grab out of summit. I also heard about cars not needing it, but if need be, ill do it.

 

She's fine...getting REAL sick of the car stuff...he heh.

OK, in line adj prop, I get it. I think they are better and give more control so go for it. They don't fit my needs so I pass.

I hear ya on the wife/gf part... the gf gives me the evil eye when i mention parts for xmas... then she goes on and on about some ring and this and that and how i never do something... bah i forget. hehehehe


Ill give it a try, now just need to stea...i mean "find" a 4th gen rear... humm. Junkyard time.

 

Im running the stock 86 prop valve for an 86 with a 4th gen rear. The brakes work fine as is but I would like a little more rear breaking... so its not a must but if your like me you will want to swap it or just go with an adjustable.

 

I just don't mention when I buy stuff for my cars anymore

 

ahhhhhhh what are you talking about?
