Where are all the fuselage brake calipers?

[FURYGT]

An update for those curious: when I looked at the listing for the 1972 Dodge pickup flexible brake lines it said they were 13.75" long, while the 1973 Fury lines said 15" long. I wasn't sure what to do with that, so I went with the Fury line and ended up with the exact same length I already had - which is to say, not great, still shorter than I'd like, but at least I know it does work. I put on the new passenger side line and all is well! It bled fine and the car stops nice and straight. So, yay! Everyone seemed confident that it was indeed the flexible line, which it clearly was, but I wonder: how did you all know that it wouldn't/shouldn't be a blockage somewhere between the master cylinder and the flexible line?

Rubber lines don't last forever and brake hoses can break apart internally causing a blockage. A blocked brake hose is a common issue and the most likely suspect for the symptoms that you described. A blockage in the steel lines from master cylinder is unlikely. Similarly, rubber fuel lines tend to deteriorate from the inside due to today's gasoline, which eats away and standard rubber fuel lines. The cure for this is to use fuel injection rated fuel hose as it is sturdier and more resistant to internal damage from today's lousy gasoline.

All good points. I was worried about the inevitable rusty/coppery "sludge" that can be generated in not-well-maintained brake lines getting stuck somewhere along the way, especially given the sharp bends Chrysler seems to have put into its lines. In any case, I'm glad it was a simple fix! The previous owner of my car didn't really do any maintenance in the 10 years he owned it, so I'm glad to address these little common areas to bring everything up to "full speed" .

Just did a quick search for what I used and recommended.

It was rear centre hose that I used on the front and rear of my Imperial.
Apologies for not being clear.

Ah, okay. No worries, but I'll keep it in mind for next time .
