We are in the process of installing the kit. We decided to go with a
combination valve from a GM car. Supposedly this would make the part easier
to find, because the same valve was used on nearly every disc/drum GM from
1973-1990. We had trouble ordering the part online and decided to hit the
junk yard. It was an easy find, we decided to take one from a 1987 Caprice
wagon. Cost $12.
The AC-Delco part was 172-1353. Go to their website and search for that
part, you can see just how many heavy cars was used on. From what I
understand you can use a combination valve from just about any disc/drum car
as long as the size/weight of the car is close.
We should be finishing up the install this weekend if we can find the banjo
bolts for the calipers in the kit...looks like another trip to the junk
yard.
