Details

This adjustable proportioning block allows you to run lines from the master cylinder to the block and then to the appropriate wheels. What is neat about it is that it also contains the proportioning valve and brake light switch. This dramatically reduces the amount of fittings needed and potential leaks.

The adjustable proportioning valve regulates rear brake pressure, helping to maintain correct brake bias between front and rear brakes. It is designed for dual bowl master cylinders. The distribution block connects to the master cylinder and distributes brake fluid to all four wheels. An easy to turn handle with directional arrows makes it simple to either increase or decrease rear brake pressure.

The block accepts 3/16" brake lines and the inlets and outlets on this unit are 3/8"-24 inverted flare females.  It has two inlets from the master cylinder, two outlets to the front brakes and one outlet to the rear brakes.  It includes five stainless steel 3/16" fittings and wiring pigtail for rear brake light switch. Mounts to any convenient location. This is not a direct factory replacement for original blocks. Some line modifications may be necessary.

Based on the reviews, customers are generally satisfied with the product's quality and functionality. They laud its straightforward installation, compact design, adjustability, and compatibility with both disc and drum brake systems across a range of vehicle models. However, some encountered issues with leaking pressure switch. Despite that, many found it to be a valuable addition to custom or vintage vehicles, applauding its advantage in regulating brake pressure over the competitors. Most customers recommend the product for its performance, convenience, and affordability.

Great product!

A nice little all-in-one proportioning valve block. Has a great finish(I went with black) and mounting holes. I made a mounting bracket out of diamond plate aluminum. My only complaint, and it's not that serious, is having to remove the stop light switch to connect the "In" line from the rear brake chamber. I didn't want to remove it.

Adjustable Block with Brake light switch...

When I first saw this switch online I thought just what I need at a good price. The install was OK but while using good fittings, I have had a leak at almost every outlet including the brake switch. I had to remove the whole block after it was installed because of all the leaks. That thing couldn't hold fluid under pressure without leaking in almost every outlet. In examining the block, I believe the machining just is not up to spec. I had to dangerously over torque each fitting just to get it to stop leaking. I'm still dealing with at least 1-2 more slight leaks. I cant torque the fittings anymore as I worry about stripping the aluminum. I'm not sure what is best. I received the block and let it sit on the shelf a while before the install since I'm completing a restore on my Dodge A100. I don't think I would be eligible for an exchange or upgrade. I see the pic in this ad shows it with CPP markings. The one I received has no markings. I'm not sure if they sent me a different brand or it's still CPP just not marked. If anyone from Speedway reads these reviews, please advise. The item is installed but the vehicle not driven as I still have not been able to stop the leaks.

What size thread is used for the brake light switch

by Zack

1 answer

I must be missing something or the pic isn't of the correct unit. I assume the 2 holes in the side are for mounting as they don't appear to be threaded. The port on the end with the switch is stamped FO which I assume means front out. The port on the other end I assume is rear out. 2 ports on top are from the master cylinder, right? By my count there is only one front out not 2 and one rear out. I actually would prefer this. Sorry if I'm missing something.

I installed this prop valve on my braking system. I got the master connected directly to it and the residual valves after the prop. I'm trying it out and either if the adjustment is all the way in or all the way out, it doesn't seam to make any difference. My rear wheels lock up. I double checked and my system is plumbed correctly. Could one see or feel a difference in the way the brakes are acting by adjusting the knob from fully out to fully in?

you answered my question about if the valve had some sort of shut off to rear brakes but not sure of the answer. when I put the spring and valve that goes under the adjustment knob in I can not get fluid to come out of the block. With spring and valve that goes under the adjustment knob installed turning the knob clockwise tightens pressure on the spring and counter clockwise takes pressure off spring. So are you saying I need to tighten down (clockwise) to get the valve to open so I can fluid to rear brakes?

Does this valve have any type of internal shut off due to pressure loss to rear brakes. When I try to bleed brakes I cannot get any fluid out of the block. I can remove the spring and the part it goes against and then I can get fluid out.

Can I use pt.no 910-31820 to plumb my brake line into this block and I'll be only using one front brake line port, so what's the pt.no of the plug that can be threaded into the block...Thanks

Do I have to run the front lines through this block? I just want to regulate the rear brakes. Will the pressure switch work if I don't connect the front ports? Most prop valves I've used in the past have just had a single inlet/outlet.

Wiring Diagram Can you please tell me how to route the 2 wires on the pigtail that came with it? I assume one is for a dedicated 12v fused line in and the other is to the brake lights out? I misplaced the diagram.
