70 Camaro, Master Power Master Cylinder and Booster.

I've got three 'things' in the brake line- I want to simplicate this some, eliminating unneeded pieces and integrating functions. Can anyone identify the three brass chunks- I believe the center is the prop valve, what are the other two?

Thanks Bird-
it really does help. At least I now know the players.

Looks like I can replace the proportioning and distribution function with a single part; looks like I need to hold on to the metering valve at least until I put rear discs on.




Next question- does anyone have a good routing diagram? Want to make sure I don't have them plumbed backwards.

If you go to a newer prop valve you can get one designed for disk/disk or disk/drum. Makes plumbing easier. So depending on how soon you plan to switch to disk you can use either. If you buy a disk/disk now you should just need to put the rear metering valve in between the new prob valve and the rear brakes. But you mightwant to double check this with someone like Apogee/Kore3.
