I hate to ask questions on this site because it shows my ignorance...but here goes.

I have a 63 Valiant with a 318/727 combo installed by the previous owner.  The transmission lines already on the car are cobbled together and dangerous too.  Both front and rear lines come out of the transmission and turn 90 deg to the front, where they are quickly mated to rubber hoses which extend to near the radiator, and again attach to short steel lines coming from the radiator.  Of course, can't forget the inevitable hose clamps all over the place...upon close examination I found steel line coming from the transmission to be severely crimped, close to the point of being non-functional.  I've tried making my own transmission lines in the past without any success and have decided to either:  (1) purchase a ready made set, or (2) go to a custom system.  Obviously, the ready made set would be cheaper.  Of course, since the 318 didn't come in 63, nobody makes the correct lines.  I was wondering if any of the later year lines 66 and up would fit?

Brakes...I am converting from single to dual master cylinder and at the same time, trying to still use the drum brakes front and rear.  The fronts have been changed to 11".  What master cylinder should I ask for at my local vendor?  With the car came a distribution block (exact name escapes me) for the brakes which mounts to the frame.  It is pretty filthy from neglect and I was wondering how to clean it properly inside and out.  The next project after that will be to plumb in a whole new system of brake lines, replacing at that time, the dangerous lines to the rear, and non-existant lines to the front.  Any help you can provide this old guy would sincerely be appreciated.  Thank you.
