Thanks Billy, your video help me a lot. I'm doing disc brake conversion in my 64 Impala and I'm here watching your video for brake lines 😆 Thanks A LOT SIR!!! ✌🏽😎
I just installed the same set up in a '61 Impala. There was an extra boot in the kit so, I popped the large end over the rear of the boot already installed on the rod. It seals the large hole left in the firewall behind the booster. Also, you will need to shorten the pushrod about an inch (on a '61). Thanks for the tip about cpp lines. A little easier than bending, rebending, throwing away, repeat... I was hoping to avoid crossing the frame twice but, I would have to make a new route down the left frame rail. HEY!!! I just remembered, if your's is a column shift, check to see if you need to shorten the top of the shift rod. I cut off about 3/4 inch. The wheel covers look pretty damn good!
Awesome video Billy! I have a 63 impala; I just did an upgrade from drum to disk brake conversation. I'm installing new dual brake master cylinder, did your original brake cylinder had a single brake line? before converting to duel? if so, how did you add another secondary line? Thank you in advance!
Great video bud, Im actually in the middle of doing my lines right now. Where did you start feeding the new lines? or any easy way that you could done diff? did you have to take out your steering reservoir? any advice would really appreciate it.
I didn’t actually have to take anything out to get lines in. I pulled them out through the drivers side and just paid attention to the path they took and put the new ones in the same path. I did have my son help though. I laid under front of car while he fed them down from up top slowly. You do have to bend them a little as they feed under but they do bend back pretty easy. It’s not a fun job but just go slow and watch the path. Don’t be afraid to bend the line either :)
The easiest way for me was to jack the car up feed it from the bottom driver side under the steering shaft over top of the suspension then fed alongside the fuel pump 🥂💪🏿
Nice progress on the Impala, but those brake lines looked nasty to do!!! The hubcaps turned out super....looking forward to next video on the Nova.....
Single puts front and rear on same braking circuit. If you lose front you lose back as well. With dual it puts braking circuits front and rear on their own so if you lose front you still have rear and visa versa. I don’t have the car anymore so I can’t confirm paint code :/
The old system is a single reservoir master cylinder, so front and rear are on the same hydraulic circuit. With the conversion to front discs and a dual master, you need new lines to create two independent hydraulic circuits.
I did everything u did on ur video , bleed all my brakes snd master cylinder, but my pedal hoes all the way to the floor , I got no leaks , any suggestions will help ?

Hey brother I just did a brake conversion on my 63 and I bled the system about 4 times already and I still have a soft pedal, I checked for leaks and I don’t have any, do you have any idea what else it can be?

Awesome, I’m glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the great video!
I just ordered my brake lines to finish my disc/drum swap on my 62 Impala
Awesome! Glad it was helpful :)

Thanks! My couple videos in the brake upgrade shows the adding of two new brake lines for the front :)
Same used your video as a guide on my 1960 bel air 💯
Awesome! Glad it was helpful for you :)
where u get the brake line kit

Thanks mike, it wasn’t a very exciting video but I felt I had to wrap it up in case someone searches for it down the road trying to do the same.
What does the dual master do compared to the single?
And what color is the car, is it paint code 918 or 919?
Single puts front and rear on same braking circuit. If you lose front you lose back as well. With dual it puts braking circuits front and rear on their own so if you lose front you still have rear and visa versa. I don’t have the car anymore so I can’t confirm paint code :/
Nice job. Where did you find a vacuum line for the booster?
I had a capped vacuum port on lower front area of carb.
Thank you, I live in Puyallup Washington. I bought my 64 impala from Oregon a few months back. Close neighbors
Holes in the back match?
?? You need to be more specific. This was done years ago.
What hole did you install the break booster rod on the break pedal?
It’s towards the end of the video, use the lower hole for power brakes :) Top hole for manual.
You can just get a bender and some tube and run them across the firewall. No bleed back or air pockets in my experience. So much easier
I see what your saying, but factory looks so much better even if it’s more work
Beautiful car for speed tachometer
Cant u reuse the old lines or does this kit require more lines
You need new lines 100% ( rear line is ok to reuse)
The old system is a single reservoir master cylinder, so front and rear are on the same hydraulic circuit. With the conversion to front discs and a dual master, you need new lines to create two independent hydraulic circuits.

Only thing it could be if it’s all there mechanically is air still in the lines. You probably have air in the rear now too.

You are insane in the membrane.
Where did you get the hard lines? part#,
From EBay, they are a CPP part# 5864FLK-OM
@@BillyFargon thanks
7 inch?
Not sure what you’re asking..

When you drive it and use the brakes does it help to pump it once or twice when breaking for it to feel normal?
Yes it feels like with an extra pump it helps
@@joeperez8117 usually when you have to pump it then it still has air somewhere :(
@@BillyFargon hey brother just want to inform you that changing the slot to the bottom on the pedal took care of the issue. Thanks for the help
@@joeperez8117 oh good! Thanks for reporting back in case someone else has the same problem :)
I can smell that carpet
Like great grandmas closet 😂
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A HOW-TO VIDEO ON REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE BRAKE LINES AND YOU SKIPPED THAT PART! WHY OH WHY!!!?
I didn’t skip it… I explained it all…
And you can just get a pressure washer and clean the shit out of that mess
