69 charger, engine bay, right side brake line. It goes under the frame. The point where the brake line and fuel line meet, which goes under the other? Does the brake line go closest to the frame and the fuel line over it or does the fuel line hug the frame and the brake line crosses over top of it?
 
The left side does go under the frame. The right side does not and is not close to any fuel lines. This is my original unmolested car. For what its worth it was a drum brake car. Here are two pictures of my 69 charger as I disassembled it. I have more if needed.

If you’re doing a new brake line, I think you’re going to find out that it doesn’t hug as tight to the frame as the originals did, and it’s a cleaner installation if the fuel lines go under the brake line at that junction. That was my most recent experience.

They are done both ways for some reason.. I have one car over the top and one car underneath.

Possible disc brake car? When I ordered the line kit there was only one listed.
 
I just checked and I see what you are talking about. Never knew they were both ways. Maybe a plant to plant change or a up to or after change. Learn something new every day.
 
Yes, mine is disc brakes. Hamtramck built. Mater cylinder ports are on the left. There are a bunch of differences when you start digging into them. Plant variations, engineering changes, who knows? After half a century I couldn't verify the authenticity of a lot of the parts on mine. lol
