I am redoing all the rear brakes on my '93 XJ and want to replace the little brass block that is on top of the rear axle but can't find it on the Pep Boys website.

Yes it is unless you find braided lines, then it's a crapshoot how it's attached.

On a mits Mirage I once had, it was a t valve called the brake proportioning valve. So this is a brake proportioning block? Brake distribution....?

It's a junction block that is part of the rear brake hose.
