OK. DOES ANYONE KNOW. How I can get the right right brake caliper for a 70 malibu. Took mine apart. took it to the auto parts store. ordered it . for a 70 chevelle.two days later it came in. now the brake line going to the new one won;t fit. holes to small. In the box. it says this is the right part for your chevy. " WRONG" So I reordered it. we checked the numbers. and it matched. but won't fit. So I ordered it from a diff manuf. Guess I'll find out today If its the right one. Or do I have to order it from year one.? can some one help. THANKS :clonk:

Is it possable the fitting was changed at some point to a larger size? Maybe you could look at the caliper on the other side, or better yet, look at another Chevelle to see which is the wrong size, the fitting or the bore in the caliper.
