The front lines from the distribution block to the wheel well. Do they point up or down where they connect to the flex hose? I bought a set from Classic and they point up where my drum brake line points down.

Are disk and drum lines different or did Classic send the wrong line?

Thanks!

Tom

I am at work but I am pretty sure they point down on a 68....I can look tonight. Mind you this is aftermarket but I recall trying to install as original 4 years ago...just looked at one of my pics in the link below and it looks down...

Interesting the factory used a different bend on the hard lines for disk and drum in '68. Looks like my drum brake lines will work w/ the '69 calipers I'm using.

Thanks!
