Factory Proportioning valve?
Adjust with rear wheel cylinders. Bigger means more brake. When they lock up and car gets loose going in its a bad thing.

Use the LR for exit. If the car is loose on exit, tucking the LR will make it worse and adds cross and takes away 1" wheeltrack. May run into a tight/loose condition. a little ... |

run stagger straight up with enough cross to keep it stable in and out.

Try to keep the car "c ... |
