68 Front Line Size
What is the line and fitting size for a 1968 Cutlass with drum brakes, front line between the proportioning valve and front right wheel cylinder? I'm assuming it's the standard 3/16" line, but if anyone could confirm that would be great. Thanks.

Front lines are 3/16"
Line from M/C to dist block to rear axle is 1/4"
Lines from rear axle tee fitting to rear wheels are 3/16"
The flare nuts vary in thread size based on location. This was done to prevent improper connections on the assembly line. The repro line vendors all sell these non-standard flare nuts.

That's what I thought. Are any of the other fittings oddball sizes, other than the MC fittings?
I suppose I can always try and use the fittings off the old line but it's always nicer to have a line complete to save on fluid loss and bleeding.
