Does this mean my original front brakeline cannot be routed as OEM across the firewall and over to the right front wheel. I'm running a scattershield, I hope I do not have to go all the way up to the rad support and over do I? Car is a 66-B-body with Lamb brakes. Thanks.

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.
