Need info on brake hose flare
What is the type of flare used on 86 stock brake line. At the point where is connects to the brake hose? Is it a double flare or bubble?

I believe you'll find it's M10 X 1 (metric-bubble), you can confirm by looking at the female end of the brake hose. Metric-bubble will have a taper(concave) and a double flare would have a typical inverted flare appearance. I don't have '86 hardware here but it's an easy, put your eye on it. I don't recall GM using anything other than metric-bubble if the thread was metric.
