poraporation valve no room to install

[oknowwattr]

I bought a 64 Riviera ,and installed dics brakes on the front only. I have no room to install a proportion valve. has anyone had this problem on a 64? I have enough room to install a adjustable valve, but no sure what to buy. If anyone can help I would appreciate the info. have a great day

Even though a Riviera not G body you could likely mount the valve right below the master cylinder like some of the full size trucks and S10s on a bracket, then bend your own lines.

As 81Regal said with mounting it under the master cylinder is the best route as your Riv originally came with a single reservoir master cylinder & had a "T" union in it's place. Look at how late '60's B-bodies had them mounted. Should be able to get everything you need off one of them or from one of the resto companies that deals with B-bodies. By the way I think that year was one of the best looking Rivs out there (but the early '70's "boat tail" cars are in a close second.)

I think we need to see pictures of the car in order to determine where the valve should go....🙂

thanks for the reply, the way the inner fender well was designed the bracket and the valve would not work on the 64. I decided to drop the valve down close to the frame, cut out a section of the inner fender well, this gave me access to install the lines and valve, also made brackets to secure valve. it also gave me access to the power steering lines. hope this helps someone else.
