Line Flare at Distribution Block

[FloridaFordGuy]

Does anyone know what type of flare is used on the brake line going into the distribution block?

A standard double flare , it should be a 3/16 line.

Usually the fitting is a larger size even though the line is small.
You can cut and flare the line and put on the bigger fitting ,or you can buy a bushing to adapt the small line to the block.

And just to add to what cep stated the flare kit itself, (double flare/auto type) is a totally different tool than we use in the HVAC/plumbing/piping industry.

I had this one and it served me well:

By the way, since I have brake guys, do you know where I can get pre-bent brake lines for the 1970 F-250 4x4? National Parts Depot has eight listings for the 67-70, but they're all 4x2, Same goes for Eckler's and Mac and everywhere else I've looked. Any ideas about a custom shop I can go to that would know the specifics of that setup?

Thanks again!

I've always bent my own , It's easy and there are plenty of tools available to make it easier.

45 degree double flare. Don’t waste your money on the little hand tool kits.

I highly recommend using ni-cop brake line. Much easier to flare and bend, plus dont rust. Its the only thing I will use now.
