I have a '69 dart custom. It had front/rear drums. Converting to F/M/J body front discs/single piston calipers. Is the correct rubber brake line going to come from a Volare/Aspen? Or?...
 
If you are mounting the calipers to the front as intended, just as for 73/ 4 A body hoses

If you are mounting them to the rear (which you need for the old style or aftermarket sway bar clearance) then use the Volare/ Aspen hoses 'S what's on my 67

and relevant pages of the 73/4 shop manual posted here:

I plan to add aftermarket sway in the near future, so rear mount calipers and volare/aspen hoses it is. Do you recall what brand hoses you have? - I dig the double crimped ends
 
No, I don't know if I saved the boxes. Ordered 'em through O'Reallys
 
If you are using those F body calipers don't do what I did.
Notice the hose goes on the top on the A body,
If you mount the hose on the top there's a problem.
Tell him, 67Dart273.

Yup, if you mount the calipers to the rear just make sure you switch the calipers side to side, just like you have to do with the spindles. That way the bleeder stays on top and your hose lines fit correctly. :D
