Called Inline Tube yesterday and they wer trying to set me up with a kit for a Plymouth, which I assume is shorter because of the shorter wheelbase.  Fine Lines does not seem to have one for my application.  I need one for a power disc brake, left ported master cylinder, Dana rear with distribution block, metering valve and rear drum hold off (proportioning) valve.  And I am assuming the proportioning valve is the one that determines one or two piece rear brake line?

Double check everything my 70 has a 68 (8 3/4) rear axle and the vent tube (That holds the T fitting.) is in a different spot. That changed how long L & R lines are! They asked if my front lines were above or below the subframe and somehow I got that wrong. (After swapping to disk.)

Remember the "shorter" wheel base is created by the front leaf spring hanger, not the body!

Got all of mine from "rightstuff".

I have to admit that I don't understand.

The 1" difference in "wheelbase" between Plymouth and Dodge is because Dodge uses a 1" long leaf spring hanger at the front, which moves the rear axle back 1". Has nothing to do with body and frame length.

Okay, so the axle would still be 1 inch further away from the proportioning valve though would it not?
