1965 Valiant brake woes

I hope the Raybestos master cylinder and adjustable pushrod solve the issue. A buddy has a stock distribution block he's going to let me have.
By "stock", do you mean a '66 and earlier distribution block, or a '67 and later factory block?
The early block will do you no good, since you are upgrading to a dual-circuit master- it will not have the correct number of ports for the new system, nor will it separate the two circuits. If a '67 and up drum/drum distribution block is not available, go with the "t" setup I described previously.
Best of luck!
