Looks like a factory mistake. If they all measure the same I wouldn't worry about it.I’ll ask the guy I got them from if he had any info. Is paired with a 396 block. Not sure if the others are the same.
Got some things from Brake Booster and Mike came through again. Looks great. All original bolts off car and bolts for dust shield that came with the front disk I got.. phosphated. Brackets, washers and nuts plated. Distribution block rebuilt and finished. Before pictures included.
I’ve been looking for a different piece for the control arm. Thanks for the gauge. As for the brakes that’s where I’m not sure. I’ve seen a few different setups in the AIM. I just haven’t seen a picture I can follow. The setup I have is 69 disk front goes to distribution block on frame. Then one line to rear drums. Now I have 69 booster with metering valve. That’s where I get lost.I'm pretty certain that stand-off bracket for your lines wasn't used on power disc cars. The wrap-around bracket was mounted to the power booster stand-off bracket. It'll show it in the AIM under "J52" option list. That little clip that joins the 2 vertical brake lines should be painted a medium yellow.....the one that's 1/4" wide and free floating.
Earlier you asked how thick the spot welded reinforcement was on the rear control arm. It's 14 gauge or .080.
I found these. I’m going to look through some different manuals maybe I fine something I’m not understanding. Your help is great it’s me. ThanksIt shows that bolt on clip attaching to the booster bracket, not the frame standoff. Since the booster wasn't used on non-power brakes, the frame bracket was necessary.
Is this the clip? Found in 64-88 Chevrolet mid size chilton.I found these. I’m going to look through some different manuals maybe I fine something I’m not understanding. Your help is great it’s me. Thanks
Thanks. I do have the manual and also look up the web. I’ve decided to move on and look more into this when I get to the m/c and booster. I reinstalled the distribution block That had been rebuilt and coated. I have to get the knuckles done to finish the rest of the brakes up front.View attachment 6173
Even though this pic is for drum breaks, the #5 clip is reused for power discs, it's painted yellow. The #8 clip is reused also, and moved from the frame position to where it's bolted to the brake booster bracket. It also uses 2 heater hose looking cushions around the lines. Not sure if you have an assembly manual or you're just digging up pages of the interweb. If you don't have a complete book, you really need to get one.
So am I looking for the brackets in view c?View attachment 6173
