i would replace all lines anyhow! you can snake the line between the gas
tank ok, it will not be clipped down. i put a dab of silicone at each end and
it does not move. getting the lines out of the block is easy if you cut then at
the nut then put the block in a vise and use a 1/4 in drive socket on it. you
can give the nut a tap with a hammer and i bet you find it will come right
out. i put a union just after the gas tank then the longest made up line came
out just about right without making a new double flare. please remember no
compression unions in brake systems! unsafe! double flares and unions with
seats. i used a early chevelle master cyl(drum brake car) on mine..one adapter on
rear port then a plug in the block feeding the rear lines ...brought the rear
lines to correct port on master. it is very tight to frame..had to put a bend
in the flange of the gfram to clear the tubing. regards tim colson.
