DO a search for disc brake a body or something you'll find lots of info and pics.

Get the Prop/Combo Valve from many sources, PY included for about 60.00. It replaces the distribution block down on the frame.
Most mount this up near the booster.
You'll need to make new brake lines (or buy some) for the front brakes anyhow. You can make the rear line still work if you add a new section to the end that can reach to your new Prop/combo valve.
Either buy lines or flare your own (double flares)
I bought mine from Inline Tube and wouldn't again. There are other vendors, PY included Fine Lines also. I ended up flaring my own.
vidguy,Is it not advisable to use the OEM porp valve from the Cutlass?The engine is already out of the Cutlass and easy to get to,putting it in my car may prove a little more difficult.Also if I use the OEM porp valve,would I still need to make new lines.....again?
