Unless they have factory front disc brakes. Is your car a disc brake car?

No I don't think it was , it is now if I remember correctly,
That would explain the lack of correct proportioning valves on it ? Hope I have it right

You'll want to make sure you get some in there to keep a front/rear bias.

Thats why it has rear 10 inch drums then. r/ts were either 11 inch drums all around or disc and 10 in drums combo.

So , front disc . I am supposed to have the prop valve as well, and can any one tell me if there is a difference in the distribution blocks from 68-70???!

I believe so, I think the 70 models changed things up a fair bit when it went to the single piston design.
