Looking for a new distribution block for a 1967 camaro. Disc/Disc manual brakes if it matters.

Also the seperator block for the rear axle brake lines. I thought they were called "Y blocks" but all I find under that is for fuel.

Whats the correct names for these parts, and where do you know stocks them at a good price?

I'm not sure what you need with your set-up.There are several valves and blocks in the system. In '69 there is a distribution block that contains the brake light failure switch, and a seperate proportioning valve, and sometimes a seperate valve on the frame. Newer cars use a combination valve for this. there is a lot of information on this site. If you know who manufactured your brake system they should have the proper parts. http://www.raybestos.com/online-training.htm. The rear line uses a "T" between the hose and the over axle tubes. You may want to try NAPA for brake line fittings.

69s used a hose with a block attached, 67s and 68s used a seperate block.

Ricks has it for $22 J657 67-68 Rear Brake Line T Connector

I think I might have a used one laying around.

Ricks also has used splitters for $35

Thanks guys, I am going to reuse the one of the original 8.2, since I couldnt find any new ones listed for sale, and its a custom brake setup. For the "distribution block" and proportioning valve, I just ordered a jegs combo distribution/proportion valve peice. Hopefully this will alleviate my problems, and I can get it together by the weekend instead of peicing parts together.

Thanks for that link as well, that will be very helpful putting it all together. It was a bear searching for parts without knowing the proper names.
