Default 1970 Nova SS brake distribution block

Hello to all,

I am restoring a 1970 Nova SS and would like to know what the correct distribution block,metering and hold off valves are as none came with the car when I got it.

Thank you in advance,
Tony

Post Brake Components....

Location of the proportioning valve depends upon build date...when was your car built.??

Hi Wilma,

Post Brake Valve..

That build date puts the valve under the master cylinder...early cars had them on the frame rail under the driver's door.

I can probably send a few photos of the correct set up for your car...let me know.
