Re: NAPA part #'s for the 3 brake hoses on a '55 400

Thank you all for your help. Durring all the trouble shooting to find out why my brake pedal was hard as a brick and slow to apply the brakes I found 2 problems. One, the brake hoses were restricted internally. The rear hose was completely restricted and the front hoses were about 40% restricted. Two, the internal vaccuum line in the boost chamber had come off. Now I have power brakes. I bought the hoses at Autozone and replaced them as well as all 4 wheel cylinders. I've put the Autozone part numbers for the front and rear brake hoses and the wheel cylinders on the parts cross reference list. Thanks again. Brian
