WHY did the brake line break????? Let me guess. It was rusted thru.

I think your 66 Cadillac, as well as my 56 Executive, 88 Ranger, former 73 Impala and a countless list of other cars we've had answers your question. There is no reason to replace them.

A visual external inspection is good enuf. If thet're not severely rusted then they should be ok.

I did have to replace several over the years. But those showed extreme rust. On one pickup that was only 12 years old.

Visual inspection is the key. One must be reasonable and keep things in perspective.
