How about some Wilwood Help?
 
So I’m converting my car over to 4-wheel disc break. I’m just going with the drum to disc conversion 12.19 rotor kit for 69 Camaro. My question is I ordered the 260-8556 master cylinder and 260-8419 proportioning valve and I want to know if I can use existing break lines to hook up or what are my options?

Power brakes I assume? 140-8556 is correct for power brakes

You want to tee the front lines and bypass the distribution block. you can use the factory front to rear line and splice our prop valve into it.

need to check under you drivers seat on the side of the subframe for a residual valve, if you have one, it needs to go bye bye.

Thanks Frank! Yes power brakes and no residual valve. what type of fitting are you using to "T" the lines? can i purchase at local auto store?

Yeah, you looking for a 3/16 inverted flare TEE and some 3 1/6 line. I usually go straight down to the left wheel hose, tee it with a short line and run it across the engine crossmember to the other side

I know you did not buy them from us, no matter, if you need any help along the way, fell free to call me, we will walk you through it.

That's class!
 
Frank, this is an awesome attitude! I have seen a lot of positive posts by Prodigy and about Prodigy. I really appreciate it when I see folks from a company going above and beyond for people who are not even their customer! That will (should) earn you even more customers in the future! (For whatever my opinion may count.)

That is what made this country great in the first place... and will hopefully bring it back to being a great country again. Because right now I'm not sure we're where (and who) we need to be.

Look man, I get to do what I love! Not many people that get to do that.

The shop is on cruise control, Michael is running the shop, and all the guys are self motivated and know what they are doing, and me.............. I get to do what I do best, talk about cars on forums and the phone! I still like the phone, I can talk way better then I type. It is cool listening and helping dreams come true, So it ain't all that hard.

Thanks for recognizing though

Does the same hold true for the manual Wilwood set ups?
