Clifford Automotive Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Are you trying to modify the stock one to run the aftermarket? All you have to do it take the union out that is on the right fenderwell toward the back and put in the prop valve and make you adjustment.

Dave1647545494 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 just get rid of the stock valve and put the adjustable one in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 just get rid of the stock valve and put the adjustable one in Thats really all that you need to do. Only reason to disassemble the stock valve would be to just keep it for distribution purposes for your lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ward Racing Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yeah! He's sure. However, brakes are kind of important....I would recommend that you have someone ck them out when you are done and before you go speeding down the highway. Im sure CR doesn't want to loose any member so early in the year. You sure about that? and how do I know what to set it at? Im about to head down to jegs and pick up a adj one now.

Just double check to make sure there are no leaks, and take her for a short slower drive. Check again and you should be good. That is my typical method with anything I do. Check twice, drive, check again. If you have any issues, PM me and I can try to make it out to give a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never screwed with the stock valve on any 5.0 that I have put the adj. valve on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
