Ok,
I tore out my oe brake lines and proportioning valve before repainting my frame when I started my project. Regardless, and due to my lack of better judgement, I went and bought a new brass prop valve from somewhere off ebay and stainless lines from LMC. After cranking everything down like a crazy, I still have a leak at where the line from the master meets the prop valve, the one that is at a 45 degree angle. From my research prior to posting, I found that this prop valve is a very used part in GM vehicles and some jeeps. I also found that some say that they are "chinese quality" and don't compare to oe quality, making my leak look typical. What do you guys think? Those who have done a rework on their brake system, what have you chosen for the prop valve? I don't want to delete mine, and for reference I'm running 1/2 ton gear, Dana 44 front w/ disc, 12 bolt rear w/ drums.
Thanks guys
