Disc swap prop valve, "T" fitting questions ?

I have a 64 Galaxie, im in the middle of a 77 Tbird swap.

I got the prop valve off the bird and i wanna set this up right

I have a disc/drum master.

- I'm not sure if the 77 Tbird had a booster - does this matter for the prop valve ?

- 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 ]

This one :

Can you post a pic of what you got off of the t-bird?..It should have a place for the front lines as well as the rear?

The valve has 5 holes, i know how to plumb it. It has the 2 inlets and the 3 outlets, the problem with the valve is that the rear fitting out to the line is huge and im have trouble finding a reducer fitting to run a 3/16th line into it.

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.
