Proportioning Valve ??

[sbsrlewis]

Do a 1989 BII have a Proportioning Valve? If so, where is it? Picture of it?

I was able to dig up an 89 BII manual and there is no proportioning valve. Because of the RABS system eliminating rear brake lock-up, a prop. valve isn't really necessary.

My 89 BII did!!!!
Driver side frame rail, about where transmissin/engine meet. IIRC
Follow your brake lines down to it, its big enough your not gonna miss it! Something like 3X5 inches big!!!

It DEFINITELY has one. ABS/Prop valve...2 bolts hold it to the fame via bracket. There's a large plug on it as well....It's right in front of the high pressure fuel pump on the frame.

That sounds like the rear antilock brake hydraulic control unit.

Thats what it is. ABS/Prop valve

That's what I was trying to say in my first post. It's all in the RABS valve. I assumed the OP was asking about a separate prop. valve besides the RABS valve. Sorry for any confusion.

Ayup. That's the way I understand it too.

Parts like that were never released to the aftermarket for reproduction. For a new one your options are basically Rockauto.com or pray you can find one NOS at a dealer.

If you do find one from Ford you can probably negotiate the price a bit with the parts manager if you go in with cash (no, not a debit card, not a check, CASH) because he more than likely just wants it off his shelf and might just let you have it at cost.

I grabbed one off a 96 Ranger. They delivered it to my shop. All I paid for it was $25.00. Ended up not needing it. Still sitting on my shelf in the garage.
