I have a 88 tbird LX 5.0. Front disc, rear drum (mustang 8.8). Noticed the front plug in the proportioning valve leaking. Not getting a whole lot of stopping power from the rear so I'm getting nervous. If anyone has anything let me know. Thanks guys!!!

The car was stopping much better before 2 days ago. Might end up getting an adjustable wildwood valve

I have one from an 88 turbo Coupe. Don't know if that would work with what you have.

Yea that turbo coupe prop valve will give the rear brakes too much stopping power
Find one the same as yours or use an adjustable prop valve.
I'm doing my brakes right now and I'm using a wilwood adjustable valve, it's a nice piece, your probably going to need some adaptor fittings to get it into your current lines but it's worth it.
