Thanks for the help on my smokin' brakes post. Pretty sure it was the rear hose, but haven't put a new one on yet. I stripped the fitting on the hard line, so had to order a new line.

The hose I bought at Advance Auto has a distribution block with a mounting hole in the middle. The one I took off screwed into a block that's mounted on the top of the rear housing. Anyone know which one's correct?

my 68 chevelle has the top hose. the block was bolted to the diff cover. dom

Thanks guys.

I used 68 Chevelle Malibu (from Dom's sig) for another Advance Auto Parts search and came up with this one. Don't understand why it listed a different part # for the El Camino (the hose that Tim has).

I vote for the lower "new" hose with the built in T fitting. That is what is on my '72 El Camino and the two Chevelles.

I got a 'replacement' hose - don't know if it's right for a 68 Elkie, but it's right for what's on mine. The parts guy looked up a 67 and found it - thinking maybe the change to the integrated distribution block was changed during the 68 model year. Both parts are listed for a 68 Chevelle.
