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.
