Panteras have a stock non-adjustable proportioning valve that is worse than

useless. It is plumbed into your front brakes, limiting their effectiveness

when it ought to be in the rear line to prevent rear wheel lock-up. #1- remove

the stock valve & run with no valve, then decide if you really need an

adjustable. If you do, Ford/SVO sells the Kelsey-Hayes screw-adjustable valve

for about $50. Speed shops als carry it, and a Wilwood unit that is

equivalent. Plumb it into the REAR brake line, not the front. J DeRyke
