67.5 vs 68+

[Habitat.pat]

I am looking at replacing my brake lines & found a full set listed for 68-70 cars. Mine is a 67.5. The only difference I can find in brake system is that 68+ cars had the brake monitoring light that was connected to the brake line block on the firewall. Are the lines the same? I sent a message to the manufacturer but haven’t heard anything back yet.

Peace,

They are not exactly the same. The distribution block is different. I don't see why you could not make it them fit, but the routing of the Clutch line will be a little different IIRC.

Thanks. I figured that out but thought I'd ask. The biggest problem I see is the rear brake lines. On the 68+ they go through the valve block while on the 67.5 it goes directly. That means I either need to join the two lines or make my own one piece line. The other option I see is to replace the junction block with a later valve. There is one on ebay now for $50. That would be the easiest way!

Keep well.

Peace,
