I'll get some more pictures for you. I found the old pictures of my car with the original brake lines, and 2 pictures of the PS pipe. One from an unknown car, and the other from the J parts car.

Hi Don,

Thanks for those. I'll be able to recreate them from that. And that's a good thought about bypassing the booster if needed. I've had manual brake cars before. Both my '68 Coronet 500 and my '70 Road Runner had 11x3 manual drums. The three hundred is a bit heavier.

As for the steering hose, I wonder if that was a production change? Here's a crop of a picture of a 300J from Bob Merritt's web site showing the one like on my 300F. Can you send me a picture of your setup?

And here are the parts books for 1963 and 1964. They don't separate out ram 300K but has the same part numbers as the 300J but still confusing.

Hi Nick,
Here are a couple of pictures of the brake lines on my car. The body line is one piece. I have mine set up as manual brakes. The line from the master should go to the slave cylinder. I'll get a picture of the filter when I get the battery tray off.
Also, the steering box fitting is not special on the J and ram K. There is a 90 degree hose off the fitting that attaches to a steel line bolted to the inner fender. A second hose goes from it to the pump.

Jamie,

Thanks for that. I'll probably just make my own. I have to repair the line from the back of the car as a previous owner cut it off under the cowl.

Did the factory line from the rear go all the way to the T or did Chrysler put in an extra section from the original T location to the new one?

Some clear photos would be helpful. I have a couple pictures of the T area and one where I can see the line coming from the master cylinder. The booster I got has lines on it with the parts coming from the engine compartment cut off, so at least I know where they land.

Thanks, Nick

Nick, Inline tube made the 63-64 Ram brake lines from my patterns. The ram car is different as the front Distibution block is farther forward than a non ram car and of course all the little piping going to the remote booster. I heard that they may have lost the patterns, they also made the Ebrake cables as well from my patterns. Our salesperson was let go so I don't have a contact inside the company anymore.

Anyone have pictures of the brake and vacuum line routing in the engine compartment for one of these cars? Hopefully with the engine out. Also, something showing the air filter for the booster that is supposed to be under the battery tray.

Someone previously stated that they had new lines made and I can't find that e-mail.

Thanks, Nick
