Although it took a little swearing and a few bruised knuckles the cable is hung now it is on to the other side,

Here is anice shot of the equalizer bar and hardware. all these parts come with the Inline Tube kit and they are all made great so pony up the few bucks and get a clean, reliable E-brake setup.

Which distribution block you have is dependent on which brake setup you have. Here you can see the proper location of the block as well as how the lnes are run.

When running the cross line for the passenger side line get a helper to keep the armor windings from sawing through your paint. Make sure the lines terminate where they are supposed to go before snapping the line into it's clips on the firewall as if you need to remove them they will leave marks in the paint.

A lot of people have asked me if I used stainless lnes or OEM style. I do not like the stainless lines as the fares are very tough and getting a good seal can be problematic sometimes. Instead I scrub the steel lines with a Scotch Brite pad then apply a good coat of clear lacquer to them. I also use silicon brake fluid which will not remove paint if some is spilled in the bleeding process. I have also use a vacuum pump to bleed the brakes and now I wonder how I got by without it. Go spend the $40.00 and make your life easier.

The booster is all celaned up and ready to go . An item of note here is the funky offset Hemi booster bracket. If you take one apart please take pictures of it before you try to put it together. It's kind of like a game of Jenga if you don't have a good picture or diagram.

Flash forward to after the big hemi is in and here is the booster installed and plumbed. There is a lot of discussion on which vacuum fitting for the booster is correct and this is the one that came with my car. I have seen this style on other Hemi cars as well as other types. The master cylinder is a new unit and the trick here is the lines face away from the motor unlike other power brake cylinders to keep the lines away from the valve covers so you can remove them,

And before i get e-mails the chrome breather cap on the valve cover is just there to keep it covered during assembly. With the vacuum bleeder there is no need to have the motor running while bleeding. A lot of power setups you can't get all the air out of the lines without the power assist. So there you go now that I know I can stop time to get it together and go test them.
