Yeah I spoke with the folks at doctor diff and they said was modeled after the MOPAR 1973 design that incorporated the Texas shaped PV with the DB all in one piece. It is about an inch taller than the stock DB. The same upgrade model went into my 1988 Jeep.

Has anyone just replaced the distribution block in the a-body with the following? You will not need the extra Texas shaped proportioning valve. Mopar 1 Piece Proportioning Valve

My tag under the hood (on the fender shelf) is truncated, it does not have all the information on it. Is there another place in the '69 where a tag would exist?

Also, this car appears to be a factory 318, 4 speed, convertible. Someone added the 340HO later it appears, so maybe the K-H brakes were added after sale and they just had no clue and left the stock MC and did not add the PV? Anything is possible, wish I had a time machine.

BTW, a few people on other forums that I showed the picture to said their opinion of that was it was a proportioning valve, I am asking them if they are SURE. All the paperwork you have graciously shared with me says they are wrong, even though I was hoping I would not have to add another 100$ part.

Okay, I will see what I can find one for, but the one I bought will work if I watch the fluid, huh? The one in there when I opened it, the rear reservoir that goes to the front was almost empty, so clearly someone was not watching it. I think I would be much more comfortable with one similar to...

Oh I see so the 1969 Barracuda is considered a "Compact"? Yeah it is confusing. This manual it seems is for 1970s.

Someone dropped this list on another forum. I will try to get them MUCH cheaper than that one above. Manual disc brake compatable cylinders are 101326 M Cardone MC 36221 Raybestos 18M1019 AC Delco UP 36221 Napa SS4736221 Napa Please educate me if you would, what is a residual valve and why...

I looked at the fender tag and it does not list the codes for the brakes. I could not find the build sheet to date in the car. I see on the Brake Service guide that pre-1970, there is a distribution block, the Texas shaped proportioning valve, and something else, is that other thing the block...

That is rockin', thank you very much, that is what I will do.

On page 13 of the booklet for the drum brakes it says that 2808600 is for Kelsey-Hayes Disc types and it does have a bail retainer. Does this one look right (NOS master cylinder for 1967-69 Plymouth and Dodge A-Body with power disc brakes). Presently this type is on the car looks like this...

I will buy one of those Texas shaped proportioning valves and install it in the line from front to back, someone must have removed it or it was NEVER there. That would be bad if these front brakes were factory, right? Who knows what happens to these cars on their way to us, I just need to make...

That is great information, not ONLY Is it a 340HO 4 speed, but has a large cam in it (still flat tappet lifters I think), a 750 Edelbrock 4 barrel, AND fender well headers (yeah I said it). So the car needs the brakes to work right. To round it out, it is 1 of 52 of these types of cars they made...

I have a four post lift and the car is in the air, I can see the entire line front to back and I see no other device other than the distribution block "thingy" :) in the picture above. Is there a chance that is actually a combination valve? Is there any way to tell? I have no problem getting a...

The tires on my car right now are P215/60R14/91S. My wife was driving it "gingerly" we have not had it very long, she has not attempted a panic stop to see what will happen with the rear wheels, BTW it is a 340HO motor with a 4 speed.
