      I am looking for some opinions on how to improve (if possible) my car
set up.  It's a bit darty under threshold braking, most noticeable
when braking on a downhill such as turn 1 at  Watkins Glen.  The calipers
are not  hanging or anything and I don't think I have any real mechanical
issues - its just that its hard for me to press braking zones when I don't
have confidence that the car will slow in a straight line.

      I suspect I need to back off the rears with the proportioning valve,
front disks - rear drums.  Anyone have any guidelines on setting the
proportioning valve?  Would shock adjustment help any?  Anything else I
should consider?

      Am I expecting to much from a 40 year old Mustang?
