Proportioning valves limit the line pressure to the brakes, while a metering valve equalizes the pressure to the brakes. Generally what you&#8217;ll see is a combination valve, shown below. These have a metering valve that keeps the pressures the same as the front brakes, and a proportioning valve for the rear brakes.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-817fb8d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"817fb8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Combo_Valve.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-54790\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Combo_Valve.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Combo_Valve-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8de4f2e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8de4f2e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-df373c4\" data-id=\"df373c4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b99ce7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6b99ce7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A proportioning valve is used to adjust the pressure going to the brakes.

Typically from the factory, these classics had a spring-operated brake light switch under the dash. You can install a brake pressure switch, which is a small switch that gets plumbed into the brake line. Anytime the switch sees pressure it will then activate your brake lights.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-57fc2d7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"57fc2d7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-05df849\" data-id=\"05df849\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a95781 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0a95781\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pad Knock-Back and Spindle Flex<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b8bbf36 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b8bbf36\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-388b8d1\" data-id=\"388b8d1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cba03f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7cba03f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One common thing in racing circles is called pad knockback.

It&#8217;s a result of flexing, which then shows up in the brakes. In the front, these cars have a pin pressed into the spindle.
