Default brake fluid capacity

Hey fellas- I swapped out all the old brake lines for new, what is the amount of fluid needed to fill up the system? Standard power brakes, '66 GTO. Thanks

A quart will be probably be enough but it depends on how much you have to bleed it. 2 quarts should be plenty. If you live near a parts store buy a quart and go back for more if you need it. Try not to buy more than you need because it absorbs water once it is opened.
