    This is from my 74 which was all drum but I converted it to all disc. I believe this is a distribution block only with no proportioning valve. I've been doing alot of work and research lately here on brakes and upgrades and I got curious about what I had. This would explain why my rears were locking up when I went out testing. I know I need to get an adjustable proportioning valve and I'm going to put in a line lock :D while I have it apart.

    Am I correct, is this a distribution block only? Also, what MC should I use with discs all the way around?

    Somebody on here mentioned they had a Versailles all disc master to try on their all disc conversion. In my opinion you need a 4 wheel disc master for the pressures to be correct. I just did the front disc conv. on mine and needed the disc.drum master or the front brakes dragged. I am considering the rear disc conv. The problem I see with the Versailles master is that it was a power brake unit wasnt it? No good for my manual disc system.

    I'm just using a master for a '73 drum/drum car, and it works great with my discs.
