The front of the proportioning valve has 2 lines that connect to the 2 front discs. The single line that comes out of the back goes to the rear brakes. I've followed those lines so much lately I can see them in my sleep. I also have the tool to allow bleeding the front brakes by keeping the pin from extending, but a few radiator hose clamps will do in a pinch. It don't need to be pushed in, just prevented from extending.

Richard,

I installed a brass proportioning valve in Double Trouble and to bleed the
brakes I had to push the pin in.

Do you have a standard proportioning valve or the brass one?
