Since there is no tranny support to keep the motor's oil pan from sitting on the cross frame, I was going to put a few blocks of wood to keep it more level. Unless the wood is secured, it'll probably shake out & fall over. Here is what I know: The battery cable goes to the big terminal

That is a distribution block, not a proprtioning valve.  All cars drum and disc, power and non power assist have that.  The proportioning valve is up by the master cylinder and is only on disc brake cars.  The distribution block diverts the brake fluid to all 4 corners equally.   Tom
