    I've been looking at the brake system on my 72 Comet (200 inline 6) and I've noticed that the brakes are bad, won't hold pressure even with new fluid added, and the lines look awful.

    Soo, I figure the better part of wisdom is to replace the whole thing. Master cylinder, rear wheel cylinders, and all brake lines (after all, stopping comes highly recommended ;)). Unfortunately, I haven't done this work before, so I need diagrams for where the lines are going to run. Does anyone have a source for brake line diagrams? I couldn't get a repair manual for this model (I have one for a '75 Comet that is mostly accurate) and I'm not sure my manual is accurate.

    Also, does anyone know the size of brake line I might need, and a list of tools I should get?
