For those of us that want a SINGLE line and NO prop valve then what about just connecting the TWO lines of the tandem cylinder together at or near the output ports of the cylinder????


Why on earth would you want to do that?

As for the proportioning valve, when I converted my '56 Pat I used a Mopar master cylinder and no proportioning valve and never had any problems with it. It stopped perfectly straight from all the speeds that I had it up to. I never had the rear brakes lock up before the front and vice versa. People are making a mountain out of a molehill when they start talking about diameters of the m/c piston and proportioning valves. If a prop valve is such a big issue to you, get an adjustable one and be done with it. The ONLY car I ever put a proportioning valve on was my '49 Hudson that had 4 wheel disc brakes. And yes, it was adjustable.
