John,
Glad you quit sitting back and joined in.
Upgrading the power booster is not the BIG issue here as I have already seen some booster upgrades, it is an easily adaptable and affordable front disc brake upgrade for Packard so those of who drive theirs can do so much safer. As for proportioning valves, these are available for installing between master cylinder and brakes, there is one that has a delay to let rear brakes apply first in sequence with fronts and then there are those that can be manually adjusted for balance. I started this thread in hopes someone had some answers or solutions on disc upgrade because the original system almost cost me the car right after we got it last October. We plan on enjoying it and DRIVING it to shows as we do in our Street Rodded 1937 Studebaker, this is what gets the forgotten cars out there for young and old to see.
