I've got an 85 brat, and I'm fairly new to subaru. I noticed today there is a place for a cable on the proporion ing valve under the master cylinder. My cable missing.

 

Where should it go to, and what does it do

It is probably the hill holder valve if it has a place for a cable.

Well that gave me something to google.

 

looks like I just need to find a cable and hook it up

If you're talking about something bolted to the left chassis rail in the engine bay, then that is the hill holder. The proportioning valve for the brakes is under the back of the car somewhere.

Most people disconnect I because it's a pain when trying to reverse downhill.
