    Default Did Ford do something weird on rear brakes on a 1981 Granada?

    Replacing the rear line on the Granada (not that it matters, but all rear brake lines from the stock Granaada rear are being bolted to an 8.8 rear) so buying/bought a stock replacement rear rubber line. Autozone part #77180Z according to the website. The rear lines from the wheel cylinders catch the threads of the block at the end of the rubber hose, but only a thread or so and they stop, as if it is the wrong pitch. I am talking about where the hard lines from the cylinders meet at the block/vent part of the rubber hose to the main car. I hate to try and force them and find out they're wrong. Thinking maybe going to NAPA or something for a rear line from them to see if it fits? Anyone had this happen to them?

    Think the fittings are 3/8-24 so I might grab a nut/bolt and just test fit in all the joins.
