My car is a 1970 Malibu. Does anyone know exactly what i need to switch my current 4 wheel manual drum to power front disk/rear drum. Besides the wheel parts (spindles, calipers, rotors, etc) and the MC/booster what proportioning valves, distribution blocks & new lines will i need? If possible i would like to have it set up exactly as it would have been if the car were an original power disk/drum car. Thanks.

I use a universal, adjustable line that is just plumbed into the rear line on my 66. Works good.

Okay, so with that set-up i can keep everything as it is including the distribution block mounted on the frame, and just plumb in an adjustable proportioning valve in the rear line? Would it also be possible to simply install a '71 combination valve and '71 front disk lines for a nice clean set-up?
