Need help identifying correct brake distribution block

While I'm installing 4-wheel disc brakes in my '68 Charger I was going to replace the front brake lines.  I have a Wilwood M/C and prop. valve and ordered this set of lines:

So that should be everything I need to get to the distribution block below the M/C.  I've now found that all the fittings on the distribution block are rusted solid, so I'm trying to figure out the right replacement.  I'm not so concerned about it being 100% correct for the year, just looking for the right part to get me going (er, stopping) again.

I found this pic in another thread and it looks like what I'd need:



And the closest thing I can find is this:

Can someone confirm if this part will work for my application?

Thanks!

Here are the 2 valves for a disc brake car as pictured in your first post.

I chopped the lines and pulled the dist block. Cut the tubes off at the hex and used a 6 point socket to remove the steel nut from the brass block. Worked, steel cant rust to brass.

Thanks! That first one looks similar to the Mancini unit but appears to be a bit wider in the middle.  I'll see if I can find out if there are any differences.

Nice, I'll give that a shot for sure.  I may have stripped one pretty good, though.  :brickwall:
