Brake Line selector question, or what's all this 'hump stuff, anyhow?'

I am considering a front disc conversion for my 1967 Coronet. In Line Tube has "straight" or "w/hump right front". I forgot is the 'hump' where the line goes under the frame rail? Anyone have a picture handy? Thanks and take care, Bill

I thought it was the one following the seam in the firewall??
 
Here is the hump in the center of the firewall. The other style line goes straight across The firewall. It was made for Hemi with the heat tubes to the back of the intake. Then they put the hump lines on cars with other engines also.

Difficult to tell from the photos. Thanks again for helping out.
 
Found this info on eBay; need to decode/discern the hump.

Type 3: Right front line clips under the steering column then rises about 4-1/2 above the bell housing area of the firewall.

Type 4: Right front line clips under the steering column then runs fairly straight across firewall to right side.

Type 5: Right front line clips to inner fender rises about4-1/2 above the bell housing area then routes over the frame rail to the hose.
 
Okay I see the light!

I just compared the Coronet to Road Runner brake line at the firewall. The Coronet is STRAIGHT and the Road Runner is HUMP!

Thanks for the help!!!
