So my combination valve (Stock 70 with Disc/Drum Power setup), went bad. I lost my pedal, and I lost my braking abilities. I've removed that, yet I still need to plumb something in its place to act as the metering valve. I have an adjustable proportioning in the back, but no one makes a metering valve for this car. I need something, and I need it QUICK.

Any ideas?

I dont think Im following you, do you need a distribution block mounted neer the master cylinder and why do you have one mounted in the rear.

That ''distribution block'' really isn't that simple. It is called a combination valve, with the one portion metering the front brakes, and the other portion acting as a proportioning valve for the rear. It allows the rear brakes to build up approx 140lbs of pressure, before applying the front brakes, as to allow the rears to overcome the force of the springs. It also proportions the pressure to overcome the efficiency of the front pads to the rear shoes.

What I have is a proportioning valve to limit the pressure to the shoes. I still however need something to meter the pressure to the front pads. If all else fails, I will be stuck with a temporary solution of a Brake line T... .not the best solution.
