My 1971 Road runner

As I finished up the line-loc install - stupid me noticed that I had plumbed the master cylinder backwards.... :BangHead:
So I had to make new lines and install them the proper way.
Like so.

So before I go and bleed the brake system once again I decided to change gears and install the universal joints on the driveshaft.
Here is the Moog part number for their heavy duty one with the grease fitting in the cap.

Clean up the bores before install.

Install the joints - I prefer installing them using my bench vise. I'm not a big fan of pounding them on especially now that the shaft has clear coat on it.

So today I try bleeding the brakes again.
Start at the passenger side rear & I notice it leaking from the tee that sits on the diff housing.
It's leaking from the fitting on the stainless braided flex line I got from Inline tube.

So I'm now removing it - it's junk.
I'm ordering the stock flex line so I'll have no more headaches.
So lets move on and do something else.
Like install the heater hoses.

I did add the additional bracket on the shock nut. It will be more sturdy than the factory plastic clip that snaps onto the inner fender.
