Installing new caliper and brake line question

1977 f250, single piston caliper

i see the bolt for the brake line has a hole on the side and is hollow inside. Do I need to line this hole up with the brake line? Or just torque it down and there is enough clearance around the bolt to make it into the hole?

brass washer goes between the caliper and the brake line, and then the bolt and the brake line, correct? Anyone know the torque spec?

thanks.

I believe it is 20 ft lbs. Don't overtighten it, it will easily sheer in half. Ask me how I know.

Make sure you use the correct line for the right and left sides.
