Hey, yes theres a distribution block that, connects the two lines to each wheel cylinder, that distrubution block all connects the the rubber rear brake hose as well, it is held in buy a nut with a vent cap. here a link to the picture try autozone or oriellys Rear Axle Line Block 67-70 B 66-71 A Body | Roseville Moparts

The block doesn't care what its bolted to, but the vent bolt thingy might be different.

the bolt is in my 7.25 just no block,my car is factory front disc everything up front was there but from the front to the back nothing don't know if i need the other block on the frame and two piece line for front to back or just the front block on frame is sufficient and one piece front to back?

Thanks for your help, you wouldn't have a diagram of the front to back brake line for 69 barracuda fastback with factory front disc, it is a 2 piece line mine was completely removed no idea of routing
I can get you photos of the front to rear brake line on a 69 Dart, I think they are the same. I'm getting ready to pull all that old stuff out and install new stuff so let me know in the next few days if you want the pics.

You can order pre bent lines from companies like Inline Tube....

Yeah i got mine pre bent from summit and year one,i need the pictures for front to back to see clips and where it goes through the frame
Not sure IF inline tube has pre bet for 7 1/4. I have also bought new rear brake lines with the block made on the line.

I have the one on rear axle installed and a new rubber line from rear end to body bracket i need a picture from there to the front distribution block
^^ Every car is a little different. That longline basically oe from the dist block back it will do thru the sub frame thru a small hole then go along inside of rocker, you will either see clips there that hold it one, or holes for the clips to go in there it goes back to rear wheel housing and over from there to where the rubber rear end hose attaches Those clips can be bought from In line tube if missing.
I just got done pulling the 7.25 from my 69 Dart. It had a bolt through the distribution block into the axle. The vent was an open hole on top of the axle housing covered by a piece of shielding metal. Here are the photos of my front-to-back brake line routing (but the photos are from back to front). I'm upgrading to an 8.75 but the guys at In Line Tube said the hard lines are the same regardless of brake size or style.
