Converting a 71 Cuda from power front drum to power front disk brakes. Disk, and calipers are installed.  Car was bought without any fuel or brake lines. Plan on purchasing a brake line kit. Need to know what metering/distributing/ proportioning valve a 71 cuda with power disk brakes need.  My understanding is there was a change over with these brake valves for 71 models. Thanks.

If you're using the factory valve, you'll need what is referred to as the "5 piece under frame rail kit". Here it is in stainless https://www.sstubes.com/collections/all/products/ekt7004ss-70-71-mopar-e-body-power-disc-w-o-hemi-right-front-routes-under-frame-5pc-front-brake-line-kit-stainless :brainiac:

I recommend these guy for all your brake and fuel line needs. :twothumbsup:
Beware of stainless lines they can be difficult to get sealed properly...OE steel is fine in my opinion. :alan2cents:
