I had the same exact problem with my 71 Cuda. The lines I got from Fine Lines did not line up with the block mounted very close to the pumpkin. The lines wanted to mount in the middle of the driver side tube. Turns out the 8 3/4 was from an earlier B body. Bob from Fine Lines swap sets and now they fit perfect.

Well, it certainly seems the concensus is I have the wrong housing. I WAS just going to order earlier B body lines, but now I can't help but wonder if I have an E body rear!

Anybody have a link to a list of rear end widths?

And thanks to everyone for the responses; much appreciated.

As far as changing the line , you might want to see if a 70 has a different body line FIRST . If it does then that means the location where the flex line connects may be in a different location ??? I ended up redrilling the A body axle I had to put it in the proper location and just Loctited a socket head set screw in the original hole .

But that would meaning thinking AHEAD!

Excellent point. I'll check that out. As you say, the lesser of the various evils may be to just redrill the darn hole.

Thanks

Well from what I can gather;

- all '60 - '70 8 3/4" B body rears share the same dimensions BUT the brake lines go from '66 - '69 and then '70 has a different listing.

I'll first measure the rearend to ensure it is a B body rear and then it looks like I'll need to order the earlier (QRB45) rather than the 1970 set (QRB74)

Thanks again to everyone for the help.

Personally I would order the 70 set and move the vent to the correct location , I can't remember if the bracket for the flex line is bolted to the body or WELDED and if it's WELDED the early set may not line up correctly .

I will certainly check to see if the flex line will work with the stock bracket location and if not, I'll move the block.
