A 71/72 prop valve should deliver more pressure to the front calipers than to the rear line. A drum/drum "metering block" is just going to deliver straight line pressure to all 4 wheels.

I have a brand new aluminum 1" bore MC and brand new aluminum disc/drum prop valve ordered. I'll post updates once installed. Thanks for all the help. It's funny cause the brakes are feeling a tiny bit better each day......or I'm just getting used to them

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"
