Braking (Four Items)

Picture
Product Name:  Proportioning Valve

           
Product Description:  This product is an adjustable valve which allows adjustment of rear brakes in relationship to the front brakes.  When adjusted correctly, the braking characteristics can be fine tuned to reduce any rear brake prelock-up.  During installation, make sure the adjustment knob is positioned so that it can be adjusted easily.  See arrow. When the adjustment knob is turned all the way clockwise, the rear brakes have maximum pressure.  As the knob is tuned counterclockwire, rear brake pressure can be reduced to approximately 57%.

Picture
Product Name: Disc Brake Calipers  

Product Description:  There are four disc brake calipers, one for each wheel.  Each caliper has four pistons and four bleed valves.  (See arrow) The rear disc brake calipers also have the intregal shoe type parking brake as part of the assembly.  When bleeding the brakes makes sure to bleed each of the four bleed valves to remove all air from the lines and caliper.

Product Name:  Power Brake Booster and Master Cylinder 

Product Description: This product is a dual master cylinder and power brake booster for power brake systems.  The arrow is pointing to the front and back master cylinder.  The left side feeds the front brake calipers and the right side feeds the rear brake calipers. The gold colored booster uses vacuum from the engine intake manifold to produce the power boost for the brakes.  There is a built-in check valve to hold the vacuum in the assembly.  On the left end of the booster there is a rubber bellows with a pushrod which connects directly to the brake pedal. 


Picture
Product Name: Residual Line Valve 

Product Description:  This product is a two pound residual pressure valve placed in the front brake line.  It is the blue valve shown in the photo to the left.  It is used to retain a minimum brake line pressure, which helps to reduce excessive pedal travel.  Without this residual line valve, the brake pedal often needs to be pumped to get effective braking.  The valve also prevents brake fluid from flowing back to the master cylinder reservoir.  This photo also shows the brake pedal just below the arrow.  It is connected to the brake booster and the curved end fits through the floor panel.
