Earl's Lines fit 1983??

I searched a lot of posts and I'm not getting anywhere.

I have an 83 TA with iron caliper rears. The only lines I see on Spohn's site are for 83s with drums.

PN 28A520 is for 85-88 4xdisk after they went metric.

Does Earls make a set that will fit my car - if not - what do I have to change to make 28A520 fit on an 83.

Thanx

Sorry, I have drums...have you e-mailed Earls (Holley) and asked them yet?

I got the Earl's set that Spohn sells for 83 with drums. It has front left and right lines as well as the center line for the rear. Washers included also.

It installed w/out problems.

On my J65 car the left rear is a hardline into the caliper. Only the right rear has a flex hose to the caliper and the Earl's kit does not have a rear right hose I assume because on the drum cars both rears are hardlines.

I don't see it as a big problem because the iron caliper rears don't do much braking anyway and will eventually be upgraded.

There was a noticable improvement in braking but now there's a bit too much front bias so I will need and adjustable prop next which is a useful thing to have in any event.
