Author	Topic: One Last Disc Swap Question
MidLifCrisis Gearhead Posts: 282 From: USA Registered: Oct 2001	posted 07-06-2002 11:29 AM First, thanks to PonyDoc on his reply to my last question. Is the proportioning valve and what I consider the distribution block the same? The distribution block is the brass block that has lines from the Master Cylinder and lines out to the two front and rear brake lines. Also has wire plug for brake light. If I pull this block from the donor car is that all, or do I need to look for a separate valve? Thanks in advance for any and all help. Charlie IP: Logged

Dist blocks with prop valves built in usually have a small button like rod surrounded by a rubber gasket sticking out of the end of the dist block. Those without a prop valve usually have a seperate prop valve that is cylindrical and in placed somewhere in the brake line that feeds the rear brakes. If you have a Ford manual I suggest you look there. My '67 manual shows a nice cross section view of a non-prop valve dist block. Hope that helps! Brian IP: Logged
