Default powerbrk. booster, master cly and pro valve purchase

HI. fellas , I'm in need of a booster,master cly and prop. valve for my 67 project.What I have is not appropriate for this application even if rebuilt, so I,ve been searching for a replacement.I found what I,m looking for ,I think, on Ebay.The seller is Rodpartsdealer out of Hudson Iowa. Do any of you have any experience with this vendor or the products he sells. Any info good or bad would be appreciated. The cost is 199.99 with free shipping seems like a deal to me , maybe. Thanks in advance . Jeff

Corvette disc brakes didn't use a proportioning valve - do you mean the distribution block that contains the differential pressure switch?

I wasn't sure what that brass block was ,I assumed it was a proportioning block. Unfortunatly I misplaced all the brass brake blocks I took off the frame ,the search is on. Thanks for the reply John . Jeff

It's not brass - the differential pressure switch is cast iron - see photos below.

Jonh that is the part I took off the bracket under the master,I cleaned it and the brass blocks at the same time and as I mentioned I currently can't put my hands on those parts. I looked for these parts in 3 different catalogs and they call the part attached to the master on the bracket a proportioning valve, are they mislabeling the part or are they substituting a proportioning valve for the distribution block? Can one substitute one for the other? Or do I really have to find the one I misplaced. Thanks for all the replies. Jeff

Order parts from vendors who only sell Corvette parts and not life style junk.
