Mine was an Aug. 1969 build and it was originally an under.




Curious as to which vendor are you using for the lines (Fine Lines, Inline, ??).  I need to pick up a set.

drums had over frame and discs had under. Not sure if power brakes made a difference.

Hmm, I guess I should have stated that my car originally had power drums on all four corners.

Some food for thought, if correctness is not an issue and you are running headers the over the frame lines will move the lines away from the heat of the header tube. It may not be problem with a small block but with my hemi there is one header tube that is right next to the brake line where it crosses under the frame rail, not much more than a 1/4 of an inch clearence. That is with hookers, it may not be an issue with the set of TTIs that I bought but I have the car apart for a repaint so I haven't installed them yet. But I know the TTIs tube routing is entirely diffrent than the Hookers.
