Cougar proportioner

Hey, I managed to get ahold of a rusted (badly rusted beyond repair) 1971 Cougar with a 351C, auto etc. The car was junk so we pulled the 351 and dropped it into my buddies '73 Ranchero and then pulled the 9inch and all of the front suspension to put into my Falcon, which I already put a 351C into.

Now, I've got the 9inch rebuilt (but no posi yet) and modified to fit the Falcon as well as cutting out all of the rust that was around the shakle mounts. That is all in and done and I am extactic about it. So now I've moved onto the front half where I replaced the ball joints, bearings, calipers, rotors etc in preparation for the swap. All is going fine and dandy, but I have one little hickup at this point. I have the a-arms and lowers and spindles all in place and am ready to bend up the new brake lines for the disc brakes that were on the Cougar. So I also scavenged the proportioner valve from the Cougar and am looking at it trying to remember which line went where.....dangit, I just don't remember. I'll post a picture of the valve, would anyone be able to tell me which lines go where?

Cheers and Thanks
Kevin

Re: Cougar proportioner

What you have pictured is not really a proportioner, but more over a clicker. It was designed via warning light to indicate if one or the other side of brake hydraulic system it low or weak. Refill the basin on the master cylinder and it is supposed to recenter and keep light off on dashboard. Usually took two days for me.
