Re: Disc brake prop valve
Depending on the year, brake size, and tire choice, the drum prop valve might be a better choice. Do you know which prop valve you have in there now?

All I know is that it is the original valve for a 91 Daytona ES with rear drums and a 3.0L engine. Are there numbers on them to identify them?

There is a plastic tag where the switch for the brake light is located. They're color coded.

OK, Thanks I'll check it out.
Re: Disc brake prop valve
There used to be a good reference for the characteristics of each of the valves out there. Some tag colors were re-used over time in later cars, but act differently than the earlier tagged version (I think white is one of these).
FWIW I personally have had the best luck using the "yellow" tagged valve from a disc/drum car with the 11" brake system.
If you are going to lightweight drag racing brakes, I wouldn't bother with a stock valve and just go straight to a Willwood adjustable unit.
