Bleeding the brakes the other night with my Motiv Power Bleeder and setting the rear venting clearance reminded me of how much I hate the rear proportioning valve. I can feel it (and hear it with the car off) and it drives me nuts. Would a Tee with an aftermarket proportioning valve give me better pedal feel?
