I am installing new brake line on a 71 chevelle. Included in the brake line kit is a short line with about a 180 degree curve. where does that go?

My guess is the left front brake. The junction block, or 3 way "T" that is mounted on the left frame rail (drivers side), just below the steering column, near firewall, in engine compartment.

here's my problem. the kit came with 5 pre bent brake lines. the one from the proportioning valve to the passenger front fits perfect. one of the line from the master to the prop valve fits fine. I have one line that looks like it fits perfect from valve to driver front except one fitting is wrong size. I have one that looks like it fits perfect from master to valve (bends and length) except it has 2 wrong size fitting and last but not least I have this little short one that doesn't seem to fit anywhere but has the fitting i need. Came from Aushley's. wondering if i got the wrong ones.

That line looks like it goes from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve.

doesn't some year chevelle run a residual valve by the MC then down to the prop valve on the frame? Jim

the one pictured isn't long enough to go from anywhere to anywhere on my car. These lines were shipped from Aushley's in October of 1995. I doubt they are going to be much help.
