Brake questions

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Hey Bob;
Glad to hear the project is progressing!
If you plan to drive the car a lot, put the stainless steel brake lines on it, and use DOT 5 fluid - not the DOT 3 junk. The stainless lines are a little more expensive, and have a different look to the trained eye, but in the long run they are more practical.

I think the distribution block has a pair of 'flared' ears on it, if you tap them in, I think the bracket will come off.

Definitely get your orig. brake booster rebuilt and replated if there are no major pits in it. The booster is a dated piece, and will most likely have the stamping 'DELCO' upside down in the 8 o'clock position when you are facing the booster. If you buy a reconditioned one, you never know what you are going to get! Booster Dewey in Oregon does nice rebuild/replating, as do several other vendors that advertise in Hemmings.
