From the sound of it you should just get a new stainless like kit from classic tube and a set of braided stainless lines and just cut everything else off and start over.

follow that line up to the master cylinder. it should screw right into the master. unscrew it from there and replace the whole line.

edit: is that the drivers side front? if so, it goes to the master. if its the passenger side, it goes to a proportioning valve.

bring the old line down to autozone and match up the fittings on the end, and buy a section. you can custom bend it yourself, with your hands.

if you really want to, go ahead. that kit is probably pre-bent and it would be a fairly easy install, but i dont see the need to spend $170 on brake lines when you can re-do all of them for less than $30 by going to your local parts store and buying a whole bunch of lines and a few compression fittings, just incase.

Thats the kit. Just plain steel is about $20 cheaper but id go on and get the stainless stuff. 5.0 Resto sells them also but I dont know how the prices compare.

5.0 Resto is cheaper. Picture is just a rep. photo.
