Easy brake question... I hope

On my 48 F-1 In what position does the brake lines go on the brass distribution block attached to the master cylinder. I would guess that the two front lines are on the angled sides and the back line hooks up to the center. But I could be wrong and would it matter?
Thanks in advance -Ed

It sounds like you're using the stock, original single circuit master cylinder. If that's the case, the lines coming off the distribution block doesn't matter where they go to. Install them wherever they fit comfortably.

Thanks, I didn't think it would matter but my luck it would and I would have to reroute things.
