I think the 69 had a duel brake cylinder. If not replace it with one. I had the front left front caliber blowout this last Summer. If I hadn't replaced my single with a duel. I would have had no brakes at all, with the exception of the emergency brake.

I had this happen before about 25 years ago. I had to drive 120 miles on the freeway with only the emergency brake. So I replaced the single with a duel.

To replaced the lines (they all come as straight lines), you will need a tube tool to bend the lines to the shape of the ones you are replacing. The rubber lines are usually the first to go. I replaced mine about 25 years ago with the steel braided ones.

Because I have had caliber failures in the pass and drive rather spiritedly . I use ones that are rebuilt by professionals. I had one go out in the first 200 after it was rebuilt in a garage. It takes a couple hundred hundred miles to break in the new brake pads.
