Brake system just about completely replace....master cylinder, all lines, etc. Just the proportioning valve still original.

Part A: Bleeding still producing a sloppy brake pedal...too much play. I'm hoping replacing the proportioning valve with a "T" will solve my problem. Has anyone had success with this?

Part B: Considering how the car is balanced, will the "T" replacement be safe...no fishtailing?

I hope I was clear with my description...be kind.

Thanks,
Ray
