Brake distro block

[patrick66]

OK, I got the brake distribution block for the Imperial today. One pic shows what is on the '66 now, with the single-pot drums. The others show the six holes for the routing with the new dual master. Problem is, I'm not positive about which line goes where. Never done a single-to-dual conversion before, so I can use a little help.

Logic tells me that the new lines off the master go to the top two on the block. Then, a single line each goes out to each wheel cylinder. Thing is, there are three on the old block and six on the new.

Ideas?

1. Front brake from MC to top port on the distribution block
2. Top front port on the distribution block to front brakes.
3. Rear brake from MC to lower front port on distribution block.
4. Rear brake connection to lower rear port of the distribution block.
5. Upper rear port is plugged.

The correct distribution block should have 5 ports not 6. Yours would appear to have 5.

FYI, the top port feeds the two upper ports, the lower ports are independent of the upper ports for the '66 conversion. The '67 and later versions have a small piston between the upper and lower ports, if there is a pressure differential between the upper and lower ports the piston movers and trips the brake warning light.

The two new lines from the mc go to the top ports. Mine weren’t marked. Can figure out which ports are top ports or inlets buy blowing in each port.
One of the top ports feeds two outlets. These go to each of the front wheels.
One of the top ports feeds a single outlet. This feeds the line to the rears.

I installed mine incorrectly. I agree with rapidtrans you can determine or confirm by blowing through the block.
