I can't definitively say on a 62 but on a 61 it is 1/4 from the mc back to 
the block and 3/16 from there to the front wheels and back to the back 
block and wheels.  Mine are 20 ga but I don't think it matters.  Maximum 
line pressure is 764 psi so any gauge will be sufficient. Time to think 
about a dual master cylinder change also.  Right David?
