Title: 1967 Master Cyl to Distribution Block Lines
Post by: 67stripper on July 01, 2016, 08:39:16 PM
I have a 1967 NOR 11B convertible born on Nov 11th with C60 AC and J50 power brakes. The brake lines from the master cylinder to the distribution block are as shown in the photo. The line to the valve on the frame comes out the back of the distribution block not the side as shown in the Assembly Manual on page J50A2. The power brake booster was added many years ago. Originally the car had manual drum brakes. The lines from the master cylinder to the distribution block are the original lines. Note UPC5A2 shows the lines differently. I'm having some restoration work done on the car and the tech advised that the brake lines should be replaced as they are now 50 years old. I agreed. When the lines came they were not the same as the originals. They were like the Assembly Manual J50A2and UPC5A2. Interestingly the Assembly Manual on page C60A9 shows the line to the rear coming out the rear and there is note stating that this line was changed on Sep 20, 1966.

Anyone have a system with the line to the rear coming out the back of the distribution block or can comment on differences?

I have a '67 LOS 2A car with AC and PB from the factory.  The line routing is as depicted in UPC5 and J50, not the C60 picture.

Hard lines generally don't need replaced unless they are rusted thru on the outside. Soft lines, yes.

Thanks for the info Kurt. The lines were not bad in most areas but some of the areas were pretty rusty looking so decided to replace. Not sure if the best idea but the tech I use is a long time friend and does lots of this work so I relied in him.
