Proportioning Valve Wire

[Chevys4life]

Can anymore tell me where I can buy one of these short extension wires from. I'm adding power brakes to my drum brake truck and need this proportioning valve extension.

the new combo valve should come with the wire

Its likely a different connector on the new PV for power so just splice that new pigtail into your wiring. Or if you just need same connector, just splice in a longer piece of wire. What I did.

lol the way you are holding the wire made me laugh. We take random pictures like that and send them to each other at work

It seems some others are thinking you are getting a new proportioning valve. It may be because you called the drum brake distribution valve a proportioning valve. If you are not getting a proportioning valve and are simply moving the existing distribution block out from the firewall, you probably have some options. Re-route the wire if it is taking an inefficient route like through wire channel on the firewall and wire clip, and instead run it from the firewall connector in a more direct way to the distribution block, or splice in a piece of wire to lengthen it and route it any way that looks neat, or become a subscribing member of the forum and post a want-to-buy ad in the parts section and ask for somebody to send you that wire. I didn't know there was such an extension wire like that. There are people here on the forum who have their original wire harnesses stashed and offer parts and pieces to people who need them in response to want-to-buy ads, I have experience with that.

Sorry, I misread power brake conversion as disc+power.
I just spliced mine.

What does the wire do?

Lights the warning on the dash when there's a pressure loss in either front or back

You are correct and it is only a distribution value and not a proportioning value. I think I kept the old old wire harness that I took off the truck so i just extend it when the time come. Thanks for the correction and I will just modify the existing one. I know what your talking about removing it from clip on the fire wall.
