Brake line orientation
I know this is a simple question, but one I can't find the answer to.
1968 C3 power brakes. On the master cylinder which port feeds which brakes. Does the front port (closest to radiator) feed the front brakes, and the rear port (closest to firewall) feed the rear, or are they reversed, front feeds rear brakes, and rear port feeds front brakes.
Thank you for your help, I need to get the fittings and I totally have no idea which way the lines hook up.

Gotcha. The lines from the distribution block to the M/C should only fit one way. The front reservoir feeds the front brakes.

Thank you all very much. I know one fitting is 9/16 -20 or something and the other is 1/2 -18. Either way I already have them, just needed to know which went to where. Thank you all very much. Gotta love these online forums, so helpful to find people that actually have answers.
