Default 70 Firebird manual brake line routing

I am in the midst of replacing my brake lines on my 70 Formula. It originally had manual brakes which I had changed to power 20 plus years ago.

I am now changing back to the manual set up, and the replacement front to rear line simply isn't right.. Hoping that someone here has a 70 with manual brakes that could snap a couple of pics of the correct routing from where the front to rear line comes up between the firewall and the inner fender liner to the distribution block.

The attached pics show where the line should attach (behind the brake warning light switch post).. and how overall, it is too long (10 inches?).. and isn't anywhere near where it should attach.. Not sure if I should shorten, or put in a 360 degree coil to use up some of the extra length..

Anyone out there with a 70 manual brake set up that could snap a couple of pics of the line routing?

I can get pics of a ‘72 with manual brakes. Don’t know if they’re the same as ‘70.

Hi Bob.. I appreciate the offer, but the brake lines and routing are unique for 70 with manual brakes..
