I don't mean to be offensive but that looks like kluge and a problem waiting to happen when you least need it to. I would be finding a way to work around that even going back to factory linkage if needed. Why someone would choose to put one of those in a 70 b body is
IMO.
It doesn't help that I'm not overly fond of lokar's poorly engineered cr-p
more pic's may help
It appears if one removed the 2nd elbow and pipe nipple, then threaded the flared x 1/8 NPT fitting straight into the first elbow ( pointing it more forward) you would still have a kluge but a better one
