Let me refraze my question. Did you plumb the prop valve in the front or back ?

Front..

Good I only asked because a lot of people think it has to go in the rear, adjust it like Rob said and you should be fine.

Hey, I did my brakes and converted to rear disks, the guy from Classic Tube told me to put the prop valve in the rear? Is that not correct?

I have the line lock and then a T connectore and going to both lines, and the back is to the prop valve and straight back to the T Connector in the rear.

That would be correct for a street car, but for a drag car with skinny front tires and big sticky back tires, no - that's wrong. You'll want to cut the pressure to the front if any as they will want to lock up far earlier than the rear ones will.

Been there, done that. I used to have my wilwood valve on the rear from street car days, and even with the prop valve opened wide up (no pressure reduction), fronts would always want to lock before the rear with slicks.

I was still planning on driving the car on the street, on the street I run different tires. I think this will be a winter time project to switch this over.

If you've already got it on the back, it's not a major problem. I had mine there for quite a while, and with the valve opened all the way it would tend to want to lock up the fronts first if you were on them hard, but it wasn't bad. You could keep it there and when you are driving it on street tires put a couple turns in it to take some off the rear if you wanted.
