They make adapters.

I can get them at my local hardware store.
Hard to believe,... but the local auto parts stores don't have them.
Just ask for "inverted flare" adapters.

Do you know what size or do I have to take mine in to make sure?

I would take in what you are trying to convert to.
They make adapters to make the nut size bigger or smaller.

I assume you are changing the Master Cylinder also?
You need one for disc brakes.
I used this M/C and prop valve from www.PerformanceOnLine.com.

You can see where I uses adapters on the two factory lines.
I had to re-bend a couple new lines, but the short lines from the M/C to the prop valve came from POL.
