converting to 4 wheel disc problems

i was talking to ebmiller (I think?) and he said i needed prop valve J65 for my 88 Iroc, well he had one & sent it to me, well after checking at the dealer today, cause 2 of the fittings wouldnt work, it turns out the prop valve he sent is for a 89-92 4 wheel disc.
i thought he or someone had said it was possible to convert up to the newer style, but whats involved?
i CANNOT find the 2 fittings anywhere in town, they are metric like 1.5 & 2, so.....
thanxs

Yes, it is possible and a lot of people on this board have done it. Do a search. The info is out there. In particular look for posts by ebmiller88.

Have you talked to Ed?

Seems you both are having trouble with valves that should fit your cars, confusing.

Wasn't 1988 a transitional year for the brake line changes? As in some cars came with the early version and some came with the later?
