what size are the brake lines on 71-74 bbody?
and would you recommend going to a bigger size if you car had stock disks on the front but drums on the rear - and now your going with 4 piston calipers and bigger rotors all around?

You would need a different/proper sized master cylinder to move the proper amount of fluid thru bigger lines.

The lines are 3/16" and since the key to brake function is fluid pressure not fluid volume you should stay with 3/16"..

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
