    You can have your old one rebuilt. There are places that advertise in Hemmings that do that service.

    If you need the actual valve itself, I may have one. Email me DIRECTLY (see below) if I can help.

    Starting in 1970, Ford disc brake, distribution blocks had internal distribution valves rather than external.

    You will need to change from a drum brake distribution block to a disc brake block.
