Hi i will be putting in a new propositional valve in after i finish the nose on the charger I could not get the old cast iron one that i had on the car so i had to order the newer 2 brass block set up and was wounding if anyone knew of a place that made a brake line kit for it or do i have to make my own. One of my biggest issues i can see already is that some of the lines are going to require different size fitting on each end of the line. :scratchchin:

From my experiences with each of them, I have to recommend Fine Lines over Inline Tube.  :Twocents:

Ok, I just read this about Fine Lines, I wondering if stainless lines are worth it.

Sometimes there are issues with the seating of the line unto the flare seat of the fitting. Stainless is more rigid. Make sure you have a real good fitting flare-nut/line wrench so you can put some force behind the tightening without rounding off the flare nut.

With the amount that these cars are driven, and the fact that the original lines lasted as long as they have, why go stainless? It's a pain in the ass to work with and requires different fittings. Plus there is the added expense. I went with original lines because they bend easier if you have to, no kinking. Plus you can flare new fittings if you have to. I did buy stainless for fuel, might go EFI in the future.
