That's particularly interesting. SCV8 (or anyone else in the know)...... where I might find this offending little restriction valve if it's on the SC300 ?

I will be installing my TT brakes in the next few weeks (finally), and will be looking for a proportioning valve to mess with soon after they are bedded in.
On GM cars, the valves are usually close to the master cylinder, but that doesn't necessarily mean much to us.

Keep us posted, that would be a interesting find. If you haven't done so already, this is the right time to add stainless steel brake lines, however, engaging those threads was a major pita. My eBay Earl's ss lines were a good deal and are quality, but don't see them up there anymore.
