Default 68 Brakes

Don't drive my 68 GTO much, because the brakes are CRAPPY! Replaced M/C, with a rebuilt, rebuilt calipers, wheel cylinders, and SS brake lines about 2 years ago. Brakes were acceptable. Drove it last fall, brakes were spongy. About 3 months ago, got in, and the pedal went to the floor. Front reservoir was dry. No visible leaks anywhere.Refilled the other day, tried bleeding calipers, no pressure. Thinking M/C is kaput.

Who makes a decent M/C for these cars. 4 piston calipers up front. Tired of the AutoZone Advance O'Reillys rebuilds that don't last. Does Wilwood, or anyone like that make a bolt up M/C, for these cars?

Also, on the side of the M/C is a valve of sorts, that goes in the line, from the front reservoir, to the prop valve. What purpose does that valve have? Residual pressure for the calipers?
