i just pulled the cuda out of the garage and almost didnt have any brakes. the new brake prop valve was leaking around the nut on the bottom and the nut where the wire harness hooks on.
any idea if this could be an easy fix? i tried calling the place where i got it but its too late today i guess.
i had some one pump the brakes while i watched to be sure that is where it comes from and it is. it emptied the mastercylinder in about 200' of driving

I'd see if the fitting is tight & if so then unscrew it & go inside & good visual/check the seal/washer that it uses. No exp w them but that's where I'd start EDIT It's the brass block not the brake line inverted flare fitting/line itself right? If #2 I'd reflare the line

I had the same problem with a cuda I put together. They never tightend it from the place that made them. Just tighten it up. You should be ok.
