Proportioning valve / Distribution block questions

I heard it called both.

I have two and need to confirm what I have and which one I need to use. I am running 4-wheel disc brakes.

First one is a 4-port unit I was told was for a drum/disc car. Part number on the side is F4ZC280910DA (The 8 could be a B)

The second one is a 6-port unit that supposedly came from a 84-90 Lincoln Mark VII which is a disc/disc car. Part number on the side is E5LC 2B091-CB. My net question would be where i can find a diagram to show which port goes where. Web seach has not turned up anything.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks

When I did my all wheel disc setup with a modern Cobra MC, I used a SSBC Adjustable Proportioning valve and didnt bother with a factory style block. Just ran one line to the front and one to the rear with the SSBC Valve on the back line and 2 T's to split the lines for each caliper. Done this on my last few projects as well and it works great! Just a idea??

That's the way to go, there is no reason to have a factory-style distribution block if you just put a T in to split the front brake lines, and do your proportioning to the rear via an adjustable valve in the rear brake line.

Wilwood now also sells a combined distribution block/proportioning valve. At $61, it's only 15 bucks more than the regular proportioning valve and only half the price of the SSBC distribution block with built in prop valve.

That's what I did. Either of these will work (both the same).
