Yes you CAN do it yourself! There have been a lot of great posts with pictures and explanations... We will be glad to help with any questions! There may be a few MAW's that you might wish to tackle while you have most of the front end apart... New control arm bushings and ball joints come to mind if they have not been done in a long time... Shocks perhaps. When I did mine some years back I just replaced the MC and about 2 months later the Vacuum booster went... Best of luck! Check out Eddies rebuild under major build forum he shows quite a few pictures... and there are several others!

Does anbody know if I can use my prop valve that i have on there know from manual brakes?? Thats the only thing that I'm not sure about because the one i aquired i was told i neeed some fitting or something for it..thanks

That is not a proportioning valve you have now. It is simply a distribution block and has to be replaced. You should be able to bend the brake lines to connect. If you ever plan on putting headers on your car, go ahead and mount the proportionin valve on top of the frame.

Eddie used a distribution block on his installation with an adjustable valve , I think it was in the last few pages... If you do not use something like a new proportioning valve, or adjustabe valve it can get really exciting when that little mini stops dead in front of you!

I already have headers on there it looks like it will fit in the same spot.
