Is the tee that mounts to the rearend cover part of the brake hose or does the hose thread into it? At opg they have a pontiac piece that appears to be one unit, tee and hose. In the skylark section they list a seperate tee and a seperate hydralic brake hose. Can anyone tell me what I need to order to connect the main brake line to the 2 rear axel lines on my 67 skylark? o No: Its always the smallest things that are the biggest pain in the :moonu: Thanks, Brad.
Hi Brad, I went through that same thing. I tried to unscrew the hose from the T and it broke- its one peice. I just ordered one from the local parts house and it came in correct for cheap. I bought one from Garrison just to make sure though! Ted
Thanks Ted. I tried to unscrew it also. I tried napa but they say it is no longer available. I will check some other places though. It does olook like the pontiac piece would work though. Brad.
Hose Napa should have them but I had to take mine in and have them match it. Seems the lines(fittings) on the axle housing are smaller than on other a-bodies so it doesn't interchange easily.
I'll just put a plug in for my local parts place- they will go to the books if its not in the system. Gotta love the old school stuff. KOI Kentucky Ohio Indiana auto parts Ted
Brad if you cannot find what you need give me a call and come out. I should be able to find one or at least get a part number for one. I bought one for may 66 a few years ago. The 65/6/7 need to be longer because of the rear spring travel. Thanks Bill.
The 65-66 does use a junction block on the rear, unlike the 67's. 1967 also used a larger diameter 1/4" front-to-rear brake line. 65-66 was 3/16" I looked the 1967 brake hoses up online: www.raybestos.com shows # BH36569 for the rear of a 1967 Skylark. www.partsamerica.com has it for $51 :eek2: www.napaonline has a (non-Raybestos) for $30. :TU: www.rightstuffdetailing.com has em too....Got one with my '66 line set :error: 65-66 hoses are #BH36005 and are $32 and $19 respectively.
Walt thanks for the good info. Brad, check Rock Auto on line, they have both listed under skylark, and the raybestos is about $23.00 for the 67 number. and $18.00 for the 66 number. I did look and I have a new of either, not raybestos, if you are in a hurry give me a call. Thanks Bill.
Thanks neveryone, I did end up ordering 1. napa said the 67 was discontinued, Good question about the 8.5 in a 67, I almost went that way but stuck with the 8.2 instead. Its only a street car and will never see the strip. Brad.
