Brake lines and a rant.

[Rodney Pickering]

Actually, that brass valve is in a landfill somewhere lol! I went through two of them and couldn't get leak free seals with the stainless brake lines. I ended up going back to an OE valve I snatched from a caprice.
In the pic I have the stock steering shaft on there. However, I have an Astro shaft awaiting mods/paint.

Did you get the brass proportion valve from In line Tube?
What year on the Astro?
Here’s where i’m at in rebuild.

I don't recall what brand on the valve(s), I bought two from different sources via ebay. I believe one was inline tube, but all brass valves look like they're made in the same factory.
The steering shaft was pulled from a 2000 Astro 2wd at pull a part here in Louisville. Do a search on here, tons of good info about the swap.
The chassis is looking great man! When you get back to KY hit me up via PM, I'd like to come check it out.

Like that new brass proportioning valve! What steering shaft are you using?

I agree. But I’ll have to run it as is for now. I’ve dinged the headers so at least it’s not rubbing still.
