Stopping power
While attempting to restore my '72 Cutlass Supreme I noticed the master cylinder was leaking. Upon closer inspection I noticed the 2 tubes feeding into the master cylinder were rusted and possibly seized. Now seeing this was a Michigan car I wasn't surprised as the rust was apparent everywhere.
Now due to my limited knowledge of brakes, I wanted to not only repair/replace the master cylinder and rusted power booster, but also upgrade the entire system with preferably stainless steel. Napa has the master cylinder and power booster for about $150.00, but if I have to replace the lines, which I'm sure I will, I'm not sure how to proceed. Goodridge doesn't sale a kit for my application. I need a little Intel on an entire replacement brake line kit utilizing drum brakes

Thanks Joe, I'm glad you surfaced for this one. While I have you on the line, what's your take on 350 build-ups? Everyone appears to be an advocate of 455's, however, mine still has a lot of life. I was thinking an RV cam and new heads to start. Torque is the goal.
