Proportion valve location.

My nova has drums in back, I am putting Strange fron tdisc on, I was told by strange that for drag race application, to mount the proportion block to the fron t brake line. On another site, they are talking about this same issue and most of them say opposite. Put it on the back, what do most of you stocker guys do? Mine is a wanna be stocker.
Thanks, Tony

I've always put them on the rear brakes. You have to control the rear lockup. Drums take less pressure so the rears could lock before the front could be firmly applied.

We did have a bracket racer at Thunder Valley crash and roll because his FRONT brakes locked up and he lost steering control. He was hitting the brakes hard at the finish line. Willie B's Ford.
