    Okay, heres what I did. I looked at both those links and looked real hard at the block with the built-in proportioning valve and switch included, $119 bucks, a little too much right now. Then since you mentioned NAPA, I gave them a call and they had several switches to choose from so I got the one that has the 1/8th npt threads, $8.95.
    Earlier this morning I ordered the Harley T with 4 holes for 11.95 from Drag Specialties. So I figure about $20 bucks and small change vs. $120 for almost the same thing?!? I sure hope I don't wind up needing a prop. valve on this Frakenstein brake setup.....

    Okay...got the # and it is: NAPA SL 134, the guy told me it's the most common of the switches available so it oughta' work. I'm trying to get this portion of the project done this week and I'll post pics once I get it completed.

    Just a quick repost in case the old link goes away:
    In replacing everything on my truck, I ran into a snag trying to get replacement brake fittings (specifically the block). Nobody had the 3 way 3/16 inverted flare WITH an 1/8" NPT for the brake pressure switch...

    Made an important find: HARLEY's have EXACTLY what we need and it's even relatively cheap.

    Check out
    http://www.dragspecialties.com/fatbook/1731/53/2374322

    Part # DS-097036 Rear T-junction with two side inverted flares, center inverted flare and bottom 1/8” NPT for 51-54 Servi-car; 58-69 FL, FLH (repl. OEM #83566-51)

    Weird... I posted that NAPA number here and couldn't get it to post in all caps, but it posted. Now it's gone.

    Crazy....
