It seems when you let a vehicle sit idle too long, other things start to break. After the turbo/head project, I've now got a brake fluid leak at the proportioning valve on the '83 Sub. I can't really see exactly where the source is but it does leave a good silver dollar size spot on the ground everytime you park it and I'm having to top off the master cylinder quite often. Any thoughts?
Looking on line and I see adjustable proportioning valves for sale. Reading the specs, they recommend these when something on the vehicle has been changed like tire size. Ever since I put on the 35's, I get very easy rear wheel lock-up. I've always compensated with a soft foot but it always concerned me in a panic stop.
So I'm wondering if one of these babies will fix my 2 problems?? Wilwood has a simple one for $50ish and I bet a replacement valve for the Sub would be quite a bit more.
