Retribution block rebuild
 

Any one know who can rebuild a 67 Nova factory distribution block? Emailed Steve Gregori and he said he cannot rebuild this type of valve?

Dave there are some great rebuild articles and instructions at Muscle Car Research here:

Thank you for the links and info...

I might be able to help if someone can share a picture of this block.

Scott, didn't realise you're a member on here - just wanted to say thanks for those great tech articles I linked to above :beers:

Scott,

You did email me some info but think it was for a different block.

Here are pictures of my block...

Dave, here you go:

Scott. Parts book states this was used on 67-70 Camaro and 67-69 Chevy (Nova) 3983040

That sure looks a lot like this one: https://www.musclecarresearch.com/19...-valve-autopsy

Here's the rebuild kit for that block: https://www.musclecarresearch.com/gm-pd-valve-kit-1

The block shown in the rebuild article is different, but the process is the same.

Scott,

I see the block listed...does it matter that it is not 67 and has the extra hole on bottom next to where the bracket bolts on?

If no different then I will get that kit! This distribution block was on a non Disc car and will be used for a factory 67 Disc brake set up. Not sure they are the same or can be used in the same way with the added hold off valve and the double bail master.

Thank you every one for all the info! I'm learning factory Disc, but even harder on 67 Nova that there were very few with very little info on them. Like 67-68 Camaro...they are few to be had. 565 sets made in 67 for Nova/Chevy 11 so not easy for parts.

I don't have one like yours, so there's no way to know for sure without taking your block apart and comparing what you find to what you see in my autopsy article. I'll go out on a limb and say that I think the internal parts are the same.
