Proportioning valve orientation

Is the proportioning valve mounted like a I or like a ----?

If that doesn't make any sense, does the rear brake line exit the valve straight back, or down and then make a 90* angle?

The rear brake line exits the valve straight back. I don't see any reason why it could be mounted any way as long as it's mounted lower than the master cylinder.

Yep, straight out the back of P valve for the rear brakes on my 78 F250, then slightly downward bend, then hugs the inside of frame back to the flex hose for the diff.
