        I know what a prop valve is , but its usually located in the rear so if you put a heavy trailler , its gonna send more to the rear. That one doesnt do anything.

        Thats a great pic though , its gonna help me figure it out. Thanks

          Ford probably figured no-one would ever try hauling much with a festiva anyway but had to comply with safety standards hence the reason for installing them, thats my guess at least :lol:

          1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
          1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
          2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

          1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                Do you think Phoenix even noticed that I switched to stainless brake lines?
                I still have two more to do. I have the lengths waiting to bend in the corner. I hate rust.

                  BK, your work is excellent! You make my handiwork look like it was done by a drunk, fumble fingered snake!



                  Do you have a special tool(s) or is it just years of experience?

                    tool

                    I have a dedicated Imperial 3/16 bender. There are a lot of instructional videos on youtube. I practiced on regular steel first. I can do it no problem now. It helps to do a lot of plumbing to know approximately where the bends will fall. My dad was a master plumber. He taught me a few things.

                      Ha! I thought they looked awefully shiny for brake lines , nice job on the bends. I got that line bender too and the flare tools that I bought when I did my lines in the taurus sho you see in my sig.
