Hi everybody:

The 8 3/4 is an after purchase for this 69 Dart and I don't know what it came out of. I can see it's the type with the brake connection block that's closer to the center of the diff 7 3/4" from the center. I've noticed that when I get under the car and it's on jack stands that the fex hose is getting pretty stretched to it's limits. It's an 8 3/4 flex hose so I just wondered if I'm worrying about nothing or do I have the wrong year of hose?

Do you have SS springs and/or long shackles on the car? "Seems" unlikely different years would change the length but easy enough to check with a trip thru RockAuto listings. IF you have a parts store that still has catalogs and buyers guides, you could find a longer one in the same design. I did that when installing SS springs but sorry, don't remember the original application.
 
I'm not sure what year,but the did change the location of the Vent/Block thus creating different length hoses.. I usually look for a "C" body rear hose as they are quite longer.
You may find the difference on a web page such as Fine Lines.
