What is the size of the line (Diameter) from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve on a 1964 Dodge Dart? And anyone knows the length you get to bend it out of?

Thanks

i have a 70 and it was 3/16 line, you could get away with a foot or 16" if you put a loop in it. also, the master cylinder fitting is a bigger size than the 3/8 one it comes with. i'd suggest finding the right fitting and flaring (double) the line and doing it right. i bought mine at a local auto parts store (i ended up just buying the spool, $25 i believe).

The "single pot" systems used a 1/4 tube size leading down to the metering block.
Be careful with the fittings that come on pre-made hard lines these days, some of those do not fully seat in the fitting on the master cylinder.
