Got another question Jim. It showed on a pair of Lines "Carberated V8" Is there a Difference between the V8 Gas Brake lines and the 6.2L V8 Diesel? Considering 3/4 Ton And Up use the Hydro-Boost instead of Brake Booster. Thanks.

X2.
It's no big deal, but just be aware that when they ship your order, the "preformed" lines get packed into a cardboard box. The box is approximately 36" X 14" X 6" for a 9 piece set. To get the lines into a box that size, it is necessary that the long ones be gently bent. When unpacking, the permanent shaped bends will remain but the long radius bends - those created to get the lines into the box - will need to be straightened out.

Check out inline tube. They have pretty good prices and offer stainless and OE steel. I believe the stainless is harder to work with, but its all prebent so that shouldnt be too much of a problem.
I bought their stuff for my 64 Skylark project I sold. They were able to get me lines pretty close to my frankenstein brake setup that was all from a 99 f body minus the ABS.

While we're discussing this, does anybody have an opinion of Classic Industries vs Inline Tube? At some point I'm going to have to commit to stainless but I only want to do it once.

Yep, used those on a 1941 Dodge to replumb the power brake setup. Super flexible and corrosion resistant.

I used the Ni-Cop to re-plumb the brakes on a whole car (91' Caprice, for what it's worth). Worked great, and easy to work with.

I miss that car
lol. Been trying to find another since about right after I sold it. Probably my worst case of sellers remorse. It had the original 225 Fireball. 64 Came with either the 225 v6 or the 300 v8. I bought a mid 70s SBC to put in there with a 2004r to go behind it. Had a 3:23 posi so that wouldve made a fun car.I recently found a 65 Grand Sport with the 401 nailhead but it was swiss cheese and theres no way I can fund a project like that.
