[DeTomaso] brake system question

There is only a single line from the shuttle valve to the front brakes. The
proportioning valve is where the two lines separate for each wheel. The rears
are also a single line that tees near the rear for the back brakes. Does the
pull get worse with heavier pedal pressure?

It is heretical to some to suggest that the shuttle valve (which displaces
in the event of differential pressure) might block flow or pressure to one
or more calipers. But some others believe that it can contribute to
problems like those you are facing. I don't know for sure one way or the
other.
Is your red idiot light on the dash illuminated? (And is the wire hooked
up to the switch on the shuttle valve?)
The valve is located in the brass junction block under the master, on the
trunk floor, through which the brake lines pass, and the brake light switch.
