Default $5 Abs Delete

I looked into it and from what I got, it's good...

What I did was take the NON-ABS Factory Proportioning Block out of a 1990 Camaro that just got hit and came to the Junk Yard, I am going to have to do a little custom work here, but I am running the Brake Lines to that from the LT1 Factory Master Cylinder, and the Factory LT1 Lines going to the Front and Back go to their spots in the block without any modification.
I have to custom do some of the Fittings on the lines from the Master Cylinder to the Block, I got ahold of a Double-Flare, and I am going to do all that tomorrow.

I will take pics when I finish it up..

nice...i learned the hard way about how important abs is...im keeping it...try slamming on the brakes at 80 without abs and have the tire pressure slightly differant and all the sudden for no damn reason your off into a pole ...

sorry i met a pole before because i hit the brakes and it jerked to the right hard...

I cut the lines and got the Fittings with it when I took it out of the car. So far, all the ones that go to the Brakes are good, the Rear one from the Master Cylinder has to be changed to 1/4" line instead of the stock 3/16" line, or what ever size it is..and use the fitting on the Block from it. It will all work when you have a Flaring tool..

I haven't had functional ABS since I have had the Car, so I have gotten used to it..

Sounds like the best option. I'm fairly hesitant to spend the money for the "delete kit."

Does this proportioning block have any means of adjustability?

No, it's factory set. I believe it's 70/30..I coulbe be wrong, but that is what I found from reading the factory specs.
I have the LS1 Brakes on the Front, so that will help..

Does anyone know the stock proportioning of an LT1 Camaro? I've got rather large SSBC front brakes, so I doubt I'm using enough front brake bias with the stock setup as it is...

I could be wrong, but if you still have abs, I think that the computer handles the bias on an as needed basis.

On a non abs car, the factory prop. valve is set up for the specifications of the car it came installed on. IMO, an adjustable prop. valve is the only way to go for a conversion, unless you find a donor car that came with the same brakes, tires, and weight as the car it is being installed on. Braking ability is not an area that I am willing to take chances with, to save some work and a few bucks.
