Description

This product has received the 'Crappy Product' certificate. Items that receive the 'Crappy Product' certificate are products that we carry for comparison purposes as they are often the version offered by other vendors or because it is the only version available. We would not be willing to use these parts on our own cars, and we do not recommend purchasing these parts. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT RETURNS FOR THESE PARTS.

This is a much needed part for your disc brake car. It is the correct Proportioning Valve Distribution Block for a 1970-71 Torino, Cyclone, Ranchero, 1970-73 Mustang and Cougar, but can be used on any year with minor brake line changes. Unlike the earlier units the proportioning valve is located internally. Keep in mind we do have a rebuild kit for your original unit so if you have an original FoMoCo block it is a better idea to rebuild it.

NOTE! The feedback on this item is that one of the O rings inside is the wrong size and will leak. If you buy this item, we recommend that you purchase Item # 27603 and rebuild with the correct O rings.

NOTE! The 1970-1973 Brake combination valve we sell will either come with the bracket attached or lightly attached. Depending on what mid sized Ford you are installing them on you will find the mounting bracket mounted one of two ways. In these pictures listed here we show how to gently remove the bracket, flip it around and install it correctly for use on a 1970-1973 Mercury Cougar or Mustang.

If you purchase this part and have a serviceable used part you would like to send us for credit just mention it and we will give you up to $50 as an in store credit.

1970 Ford Torino

I bought this when my original Distribution block was leaking and when it arrived upon inspection the mounting bracket was on backwards. And upon installation the block would not stop leaking from the switch port and various other fittings. However I bought the rebuild kit and rebuilt this block and it worked amazing. It comes with the wrong seals inside.

Distribution Block w/ built in proportioning valve- Power Disc Brake Kit, per other Cougar Owners, I opted to go to a 1970 Distribution Block w/ built in proportioning valve due to the fact that my oem rear brake proportioning valve was leaking. this is not an easy to get to item in the vehicle, and i only want to do this 1 time if at all possible. Don was super helpful talking to him over the phone. Again WestCoast Classic Cougar is the only place to buy parts for your Cougar. You want the right part the first time? Then buy from WestCoast Classic Cougars!!!

Like original

The distribution block is the design used in 71-73 cars. I tried to overhaul the OEM one, but it failed. So I bought this one from WCCC. It looks and fits exactly like the original. Works without any problems.

I am swapping this block into a front disc conversion on my 71 Mustang. Should this block be mounted vertically or horizontally? The bolts on the mounting bracket line up for a vertical installation on my car.

As the photos show, the bracket was installed wrong from the manufacturer, you can remove it and adjust as needed.

Oh, I get that. Let me try to ask again in a different way. My original block (drum/drum) was oriented horizontal with the bolt holes in the inner fender being vertical. If install the new one (disc/drum), regardless of how I rotate the bracket, the block will be vertical. Is there an issue mounting the block in a vertical manner, just as the 10th photo above with all the labels on it.

After looking at the cars we have in the wrecking yard, all the 71-73 cars have it mounted vertically, so there won't be any problems.

According to the information we have (we do not have an original 70 Torino to look at), the 70 Torino also used the same pressure warning switch as the Cougar/Mustang, Ford part # D0AZ-2B264-A (https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/d0az-2b264-a.html). According to the Ford Master Parts Catalog, there is only one switch listed for any Ford manufactured from 70 through some time in mid 72.
