Truthfully I have never seen any prop valves with "Pxxx" markings so this is unfamiliar to me. Any other markings? Does it look the same as my picture?
Where did you get it from?

Well i cant find that P6720 part number in the online PBR catalogue so I suppose dattoman may have an old catalogue or more info.
Is there any other markings on the prop valve itself?
Short of that you could uscrew that back of it and measure up the large spring.
It should be about 27mm long and 2mm thick windings like the pic below for a 150 crack point.

A car with rear drum brakes will have a proportioning valve with a crack pressure in the range of 150 to 250 psi.
As rear discs are not self energizing like drums they need higher pressure settings, typically 500 to 800 psi.

Anyone know where i would find a list of crack pressures for specific models?

 

I know I'm posting this in a nearly 10 year old thread, but I found this thread in a Google search.

 

Anyway, anyone wanting to know about crack pressures between models, this should help:
