The proprtioning valve from a 69 Camero would be my
choice. When I modified my truck, I used 74 Firebird
front clip and proportioning valve. The rear end is
from a 65 Nova. The master clylinder and booster are
from an 80 something Buick. The setup works really
smooth, even when I nail the brakes. I would be
willing to bet that without a proportioning valve, the
rear brakes will do most of the work. Normally, the
front brakes do most of the work and the rear brakes
keep you from going sideways (just like on a
motorcycle).
