      Questions about C6 brakes on my Cutlass

      I'm restoring my 71 Cutlass convertible and I have a set of C6 brakes for it. I have a 2000 camaro disk brake master cylinder and am planning to use the stock booster. I have brackets for the front and drum spindles and ls1 backing plates for the rear and a f-body parking brake cable. I am replacing all the lines with nicopp.



      It had a 1/4" brake line running to the back. Can I use 3/16" for everything? I think that's what the Vette uses.

      Can I use the stock distribution block?

      i think I need a spacer between the axle and backing plates. Does anyone sell one?

      I've done several cars with your same setup and used 3/16 all around. No problems with anything. Stops great every time.

      Do you run one line to the diff and split it or run two from the front?

      Ditto. Also ran two lines from the front into a junction and one line into the prop valve. Blocked off the second prop valve front output. Looks cleaner and works just fine.
