Hooking it all up..Some basic questions

Well I finally dropped my 6cummins into my '85 crew and I'm trying to figure out where everything goes. First off, the throttle cable is obviously different because it was set up for the 360 before I dropped the cummins in. It's shot, too, so where can i find a new one of these? Secondly, the fuel lines need to be replaced, does anyone know off the top of their head what size diamter our fuel lines are for this engine? Furthermore, does anyone have a diagram of the pump so I can figure out where to plug them into? Lastly (for now), the brakes lines need replacing. Does anyone have a suggestion for an easy brake line kit? I found some on Jegs... Anyway, I know these may seem like no-brainer questions, but at times I can be a little behind in mechannics . Thanks guys!

On my 85 crew/6B, I used the 360 gas throttle cable. It was the perferct length to where the diesel throttle cable would've hooked up. I'd suggest a junkyard for a replacement if your's is shot.

Stock fuel line size is 5/16" supply, 1/4" return. I used 3/8" supply, 1/4" return.

On the break lines, your local parts store can take care of you there.

All you need is power (12 volts) to the run/stop solenoid on the injection pump.

Thank you for your knowledge! How about the brakelines, what size diameter are those?
