I don't think many here would use a adjustable proportioning valve on their C3's unless they are road racing or drag racing them. Not really a necessity to using one on a street driven car. Why are you considering using one? Just curious.

More trouble than they're worth, even on road race cars, imo....unless it's adjustable from inside the car....and I bet it ain't. In any case, most that do use one mount them up by the master, so they're easier to get to for the million times you'll have to mess with it to get it "right". Unless VBP specifically says "You must use this", then I'd not fool with it, and just use the stock valve that's already there, and is calibrated for the car to start with.
