Yes and no. The kit pretty much included everything but I had to buy some reducer fittings for attaching the proportioning valve to the master cyl. and a plug for the rear brake feed on the distribution block. The disribution block had to be relocated from the side of the frame to on top because I used headers. Come to think of it, the master cylinder feed lines weren't correct and had to be rebent and cut to fit my application. I sent them back to St. Steel Brake Corp. with mock ups that I made out of coat hanger wires. They were quickly bent and sent back. The people at SSBC were very helpful with this problem. If you don't have headers you may not have any problems. The proportioning valve was only used on the rear brake line. It consists of a valve with a black adustment knob that you adjust until there is a balance between the front and rear brakes. I still ended up cutting what I told them to do because I installed everything prior to putting the motor in. Once I saw the problems with the close proximity of the headers to the distribution block I had to move it which required a change on the rear feed line.
I ended up buying 1 cheap bake flaring tool kit which was worthless on stainless steel brake line and a more expensive flaring kit which still struggled to do the job. Let's just say the line kit wasn't a bolt on dream. It required some extra work.
