I need help....

What am I missing here? 88 rear drum brake car. I hung the prop valve just to see where I was at with things and man, this new front to rear line looks too long and I don't have an original line to go by someone had cut it halfway down....tried searching for some pics on here and the manual is no help at all ....any advice? Am I doing something wrong or maybe I ordered the wrong line? Idk ...any help would be appreciated!

I had to replace my front to rear brake line and I also thought it was too long until I started getting it into place. Straighten it out and tape the ends to keep junk out then slide it under the car. I worked from the rear forward and it fit perfectly

That might be for a 4 door.
Work it into place and see what you get. Might need to buy a good flare tool and shorten it to fit.

I'd like to see that. That clocks in at about a 9.3 on my weird-s***-o-meter.
