Do the factory proportioning valves for disc/drum set-ups do the same ?
The CPP #5760BB2-9 appears to be a reproduction of the 1971-1977 GM disc/drum combination valve, so the functionality should be comparable to the OE GM units they're designed to mimic. Due to the mechanical servo action of drums, they require proportionally less pressure to produce progressively higher brake torques, so the slope of the pressure rise after the knee point is shallower as determined by the shape of the armature inside the prop valve versus a disc/disc unit.
