Default Brake line question

I'm getting ready to get my wilwoods front and rear going. I have a new sub frame and kept my old brake lines from the stock drum front and back. My question is can the old hard line be reused from the master back to the rear end or should I put all new lines in? I kept the old line covered on both ends to keep it clean. Can I flush the old line out with something to insure it is clear of any contaminants? This is going into a 69 bird with a new moser rearend and subframe.

Default Call Wilwood and ask them

You need to run a 3/16 line for both front and rear when you are running disc. If your car had drums on the back I think that line may be to large.

You can run the factory line if it is clean. but if you decide you need to change it, as Payton ,mentioned, 3/16 is preferred, but not required. the difference is negligible
