1966 Belvedere I Front Brake line and Distribution Block.

[Art C]

I am restoring a 1966 Belvedere I and have done most of the brake work but have come to a hault in the front.
I am converting to duel MC and purchased a Distribution Block to do this Conversion.
My problem is after 3 front lines that go from the rite wheel to the block I cant get any to fit.
The only outlet left is on the right side of the block. Do I have the wrong block ? or the lines?
Can someone please send me a picture of the distribution block.
This is a problem when you dont take the car apart yourself.

Thanks Art

All you need to do is take the original distribution block and where the rear line connects put a 3/16 plug in that spot and the top hole put the front master cylinder brake line in that spot and take the rear master cylinder brake line, and a 3/16 union and connect it to the rear brake line That is all that is required they sell a kit that is essentially the same thing I have done it on five of my cars with no issue whatsoever works fantastic. Big bill.

Thanks for the reply but I was trying to keep it factory. If you can send a picture it will help.

Pics would help.

There's a '67 style block commonly available on ebay.

Is that what you have?

Looks like on my 66 cornet deluxe the top hole I used an adapter that is probably 1/4 to 3/16.

. And I think if I remember right, I just bought 67 and up dual master cylinder to the block lines.

Thanks for the guidance I will post my pictures and maybe make sense on what Im trying to do.

Heres what I have so far The white are towels in the holes The front line that runs along the Firewall goes in the side hole but my lines dont have that configuration.

I have the rear and the left line fitting correctly.

My 66 was converted to dual system. He used everything from a 1967 B body.

I can try to get the car out and take some pics, but not sure how well they will come out with my car being running and driving

 

[gtx6970]

Try this.

Top fitting goes to rear port on the master cyl
Right side lower fitting goes to front port of master cyl
Right side upper line/fitting goes to left front wheel
Left side Upper line/fitting goes to right front wheel
Left side lower line/fitting goes to rear axle / rear brakes

The entire braking system on my car is from Right stuff or Fine Lines ??? But was ordered as if for a 1967 GTX

Think this is the block I'd use if I bought one. Don't bolt the block to frame rail until you started all fitting by hand! the fittings cross thread easy. 1965-66 Mopar A B C-Body Dual Master Distribution Block For Disc Or Drum Brakes | eBay

This is off my 67 coronet which i assume is stock. It corresponds with gtx6970 states above.

You have all the parts to do a swap for dual master for a 1966 and earlier single master to dual master. I like to use the block I posted if you need to buy a block.

Fran, The issue I see with using that style block offers no advantage to upgrading to the dual res master cyl.

 

[Fran Blacker]

That doesn't directional switch, so no sticking in one direction.
I'll say it isn't clear about rear brakes, think your need a connector for rear brakes. The block they say has 1 in from master and 2 outlets for left and right side disc's or drums. Have factory block on my Satellite and wondering if the switch is partly stuck so brakes aren't great.

 

[gtx6970]

is your 66 power disc brake car ?
Im curious how they did the front to rear distribution on them , same as a normal 66 I assume . Just a simple 1 in and 3 out block ??????

 

[Fran Blacker]

Drums thank god.

All you need to do is take the original distribution block and where the rear line connects put a 3/16 plug in that spot and the top hole put the front master cylinder brake line in that spot and take the rear master cylinder brake line, and a 3/16 union and connect it to the rear brake line That is all that is required they sell a kit that is essentially the same thing I have done it on five of my cars with no issue whatsoever works fantastic.

Nice simple conversion hack without having to buy anything but a coupler!

Art , a bit off topic and don't take it the wrong way, but that is a poor performing manifold you have there. Even stock ones from 68 up would work better.
