that in 1969 Plymouth was using metric fittings on their brake lines? So says the kid behind the counter at Auto Zone. :facepalm: I found that the drivers front wheel cylider was leaking. Of course the hard line broke. By this time my Car Quest was closed. The Wife's sister is getting married next weekend so there is family coming. Had to get the grass cut. Of course i can't get the mower out with the car in the way, but can't move the car. With all the dman rain, I needed to get the grass done.The sky was blue for a change yeasterday, so I ran down to AZ, and they had the cylinder, although Jr tried to sell me the passenger side, said I had the wrong one.......thank God I take the old parts with me. Then we move onto the brake line. Jr made the startling discovery about the metric fittings. I kept my cool, and walked with the cylinder. And this was after hearing that Chrysler wasn't very good cause they did all kind of weird stuff, and hearing about his '81 Camaro. Left the Zone and went down the street to Advance and got the brake line, and surprise surprise it has sae fittings, which fit like glove. And I only had to go to three Auto Zones....the first the kid behind the counter, upon hearing what car I had, said, great car, I have a '67. I said '67 what? oh, road runner...I just :toetap: at the kid, and he said, oh, '68. well he didn't have it, but said their next store over did. go there, they couldn't find it, but there next store did, which lead me to Camaro boy. Monday morning, I'm going to my Car Quest guy and beg for forgiveness.. :worship:
