Update++++
Started today by installing the Master and Booster. I connected the Vacuum line to the hole directly behind my Carb, Next I started to remove the old Distribution Block to make room for my new OPGI Disk/Drum Prop Valve which was a PAIN. I had to make 3 new lines for the correct fittings and length since the new prop valve is slightly longer then the original. Bent, formed, and double flared the new lines (1 shown). Once I was done with the new lines I installed the new Prop Valve. I had prevously installed the left side knuckle with the Disk and Caliper. I added new rubber lines . Plans for tomorrow are to install the right side knuckle with the Disk and Caliper and bleed the system and test drive. I hope everything works out wish me luck.
Sorry about the sideways pics in the pic preview they were up right

Update***
Today I installed the right side disk setup bled the system and test drove the car. It feels much better then the drum set up. The swap went pretty straight forward minus the aftermarket Prop Valve. I had to make new lines for the Prop Valve. Thanks for the help ..
