You might have to use adapters. Are they for the prop valve.

I am using them to connect factory lines to the prop valve. The front lines are done & I am having issues w/ the rear brake line union. (finding it) A friend of mine found a 7/16 to 7/16 line & now we would only need the 7/16 - 7/16 female to female union to complete the job.

Anywhere local stock these or do you know where I could order it???

Thanks

Joe

Well stocked NAPA stores have a selection of these adapters. You can also find them on line. The trick is to search for Master Cylinder Adapters.

OK, that wasn't a criticism. I know firsthand that NAPA has them. I don't know anything about CarQuest - the only one near me sucks, so I don't use them. Just offering options.

Thanks for the info fellas...
It is greatly appreciated!!!

I need to know your thoughts on this set-up...

My plan is to replace the system when I give the car a facelift so this is why I went this route w/ the line...

From the prop valve I stepped down w/ two adapters 9/16 to 7/16... (line has 7/16 ends)
Tapped into the existing line & stepped up in the same fashion...

Is it save to have this many adapters & a union on this line??? (for normal driving etc...)

Thanks a ton!!!

Joe
