This is a Perf Auto internal solenoid, have never seen another Brake VB so cannot help much.
I would assume the Perf Auto External sol version would have the billet part also.

the one i have has the external solenoid and it has shim washers with it. thats why i need the instructions for it. i think i have found who makes it. it looks just like the one redneck performance makes but i cant get them to answer the phone.

All the Redneck 'brakes I've seen have a screw in solinoid. They even give you a tap to thread the case.

I don't think yours is a Redneck, PA or JPT. Those are the ones I have experience with.

Maybe Art Carr or Dynamic? Coan? Jackson?

Looks like my Art Carr brake. If so, you are likely missing a valve and spring that goes in the modulator port.

A "pro" brake requires that the manual lever be placed in R and the solenoid energized to move the car in reverse.

Looked at the Redneck eBay site (their web site is a non-starter) and their VB looks identical to the Art Carr item.
