- If i run a adjustable proportioning valve on the rear line, do i just "T" the front lines off the master ? do i need any sort of valve for the front ? [ i dont think i do, but im not much of a pro when it comes to disc brakes ]
The valve off the BIRD is a COMBINATION VALVE, and is comprised of a front metering valve, center pressure differential valve, the rear proportioning valve and a 5# rear brake (drum) residual pressure valve (this valve may also be in the rear brake (drum) outlet on the MC).

If you decide to not use the later combination valve, you will have to plumb in the valves mentioned individually (available). To test a rear proportioning valve make a panic stop on wet road surface (preferably a skid pad) and see how well the font/rear barke bias is.
