Well I know this is 3 years after the fact...but I hope it helps..... I have a 57 with power brakes and man were my brakes scary! I replace EVERYTHING but the hard brake lines.....and it turns out that the rubber hose from the booster to the block on the frame was collapsed on the inside. I bet if I would have started with this one piece...it would have fixed my problem. (incidentally.....I used a hand bent hard line to replace it because it was so close to the engine). Drives great now!
