Goodridge lines... 83 with 98 disc rear, what kit?
Ugh, always making things confusing for myself haha
My front lines are dry cracked and I really want to get a set of Goodridge lines for the car.
I know the kit for the drum rear comes with three hoses and would normally be an easy order...but I have a 98 disc rear going in.
So... might there be a kit that'll work for that? I'm sure someone hear would know exactly what lines I'd need and I could figure a model year kit that'd fit!

Don't know that there is a "kit"...
83 has SAE fittings.
98 has metric bubble flare fittings.
You say the rear is "going in"; sounds like some further research is in order. 98 should have a 4-ch ABS system, i.e. 4 individual brake lines to the wheels; not one in the center that feeds both rears, like a 83 chassis.
How you handle THAT will significantly impact your choice of line "kits".

It's a 97 I guess, out of a LT1/T56 car. Haven't picked it up yet, it's at a friend's house!
