Been looking at these and wondering whats best since I'm going with 4-wheel disks. Have Wilwoods 11.75" in front and Explorer 11" in rear.

I was looking at the Summit® Adjustable Proportioning Valve and Distribution Block which removes the need for a separate front DB. Can you order a Distribution Block for the rear from Summit or Jegs? I have an order from each tomorrow but can't find anything. I find it hard to believe the only place for a rear DB is from a Mustang vendor.

Well, you only really need to run one line to the rear because you should have a distribution block on the rear end. I say get one adjustable proportioning valve and use it to adjust the rear. You will need one distribution block for the front. Speedway Motors sells them very cheap.

EDIT: I must have misread your post. Speedway Motors has one like the link above.

Jegs. But look at the shipping date

The distribution block is for both the front and the rear. And yes, the easiest place to get a distribution block is from a Mustang vendor.

That said, I'd go with the adjustable combo unit. It's much easier to plumb, and gives you a nice spot to adjust from. You'll thank me later when you're bending tubing.

I should have explained the above Summit PV/DB better. It is a Dual Inlet/Triple Outlet with 2 outlets going to R & L front brakes and the 3rd outlet going to the rear with the proportioning valve to control the rear pressure. I like it over the cheaper proportioning valves since I can branch my front lines directly from it instead of into another distribution block.

Starfury.. yes.. thats exactly the reason I like it.. much easier to plumb.

Deviousfred.. Thank you! That Summit 3/16" fitting is exactly what I was looking for. The old rubber hose and T fitting off the 8" rear is long gone and wanted something like this to replace it.

Dual Master Cylinder
-> Front into combo unit and "T"s off to L / R front flex lines.
-> Rear into combo unit -> out through built-in PV -> routed to rear into 3/16" fitting "T"ed to L / R rear flex lines.

Argh... sorry.. that will not work. as its 3/16". I'm running 3/8" Aluminum brake lines.

I HATE fittings!!! Still haven't figured out all fittings I need to plumb the fuel lines either.

Edit..grumble.. yeah thats the fuel line.... . Just so out of it today and my 2nd comment stands.. I hate the fittings

Starfury

Your hookups to the block are backwards. The front port on the m/c should go to the rear brakes, and the rear port to the fronts.

What problem are you having with fittings? As long as you're running inverted flare, you shouldn't have any problems picking up fittings from any Napa. If I was at work, I could probably walk to my Weatherhead rack and pick out just about anything you need for 3/8" inverted flare.

$17? Are you kidding? Go to Napa, or a hardware store with a good brass selection.

Do you need the adjustable prop valve? You could use the combination valve off of a newer mustang and it wouldn't cost near as much if you don't need the adjustability.

Have you looked at the one (three, actually) SSBC offers?
