Fuel and brake lines
Getting ready to purchase fuel and brake lines for my 70 cutlass convertible project.
Here's what I am looking at.

Is the car an original disc brake car, or was it converted? Does it have the OEM metering valve under the M/C, or the 1971-up combo valve on the frame rail? Or does it have the aftermarket combo valve on a bracket under the M/C?
If you buy lines for a 1970 with OEM disc brakes, they will only fit the OEM configuration with the metering valve at the M/C and the distribution block on the frame. If you have the combo valve on the frame, get lines for a 1971. If you have an aftermarket conversion with a non-stock valve location, get lines for that specific aftermarket kit.

Fuel lines are fine.
Brake lines, that's not a complete set, not sure if you need a complete set or not. If you need a complete set, call them so you can tell them the position of the proportioning valve.
Also stainless brake lines are a major PIA to seal, I did that once and never again.

Joe based on an old post by a trustworthy guy
Hopefully not outdated.
It's going with
https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Stock...-Kit,4624.html
https://www.speedwaymotors.com/1964-...ugg_q=91034900
Now for the rear that gets kinda complicated.
Best I can tell the 3.55 rear I picked up has the Right Stuff disc conversion kit. (been trying to get info from OO/ part numbers to no avail)
I will be needing a appropriate M/C, booster, and valve as well.

If you're going with a four wheel disc conversion, you need a master cylinder and combo valve to match. The hard lines on the rear axle will need to be custom made to fit your axle, so get some practice on bending and flaring. The location you pick for the combo valve will dictate which line kit you need.

Also Right Stuff sells a COMPLETE brake line kit that cheaper than all the lines separate. Ask them about it.
You didn’t have the rear axle lines OR the rubber line from the rear to the axle which you might need.
