Disc Brake Metering Block

[67cudaGuy]

Hey I'm getting ready for a disc brake conversion on my 1972 Duster (Manual drums) and I'm not sure if I need a different metering block. Does anyone know if the disc brake cars had a different metering block? Thanks

Yes, the disk brake cars have a proportioning valve. The drum brake cars just have a distribution block.

Mopar 1 Piece Proportioning Valve

Are you going to just front or on all 4?

 

[67cudaGuy]

Just the front

Just the front

OK then yes to prop valve. If you ever go 4, keep the distribution block and switch it back.

Are you going with KH 4 piston or 72 and older or 73 and newer single piston?


If KH 72 and older keep your distro block and add the 72 and older proportioning valve.

If you are going 73 and newer, replace the distro block with a combination distro / proportioning valve.

That way all the lines and parts will be bolt in.

Thanks keeping it with the 72 and older style

On second thought, I don't know when the combo valve started, it might have been earlier than 73.

Basically what I'm saying is if you use stock parts you can't go wrong.
