Saw this on a general Mopar board. Let's see how long it takes our crowd to spot the problem vs. the friendly participation trophies awarded on FB.
A difference between FCBO and the Facebook

I see a couple things. Not sure what you want us to see?
I gotta ask where is the booster? That's what grabs me...

So do I, call them out.
My point is this place is more critical than the FB world, but hotter fires make harder steel.

I will kick it off, as an electrical engineer, they have not wired up the low fluid pressure switch.

Are you the other guy who mentioned it on FB?
Well it's pretty! Like to see where the two rear lines go, one for each wheel with the proportioning valve to balance them left to right??

The photo is an incomplete car, I assume they have not installed any wiring yet.

I see one brake line to the front from the proportion valve, and two to the rear. However, he could be rerouting the line to the right brake via firewall (?). He could be using a separate proportion valve at the left brake to cross over the cross member. Or this could be a circle car track set up where he only needs one brake up front. Am i close?

I think you have to mention it to the FB poster/Craftsman that thier system is dangerous, which leads to you having to explain the fix/reason. Then you will get bashed for not knowing anything.
The real question is with all that fancy brake crap in the way. How do you get the fendewell headers in there?
I'm going to go off quietly and Pat myself on the back for not being on Facebook.
Ooops my bad it is not a A body, it's the dreaded E.

I think the weirdly angled line is just headed for the right side, and just one line headed for the rear.

That's it? That the answer to your question? He can't fit his headers in with this brake setup?

Maybe it's just the grumpy old non-person SOB's who see it, lol.

Well, the lines are reversed front pot is not rear brakes but that is not completely wrong as long as the resevoirs are sized for type of brake.
There is no expansion/flex coil in lines before it goes to the body. In a stock/OEM the combo switch is mounted to lower apron/frame so the flex coil is in between MC and switch. I see Wilwood made it a whole mounted package, no coil needed between switch and MC but should have them before it gets to frame.
I'm assuming he is running second front line under firewall instead of through it's brackets that are on the firewall to make a cleaner firewall. The high up in your face plumbing factory by the MC makes that contradictory.
Lastly, having actually owning one of these car with a BB, those brake lines are going to be a PITA to change number 7 spark plug. Of course a Hemi or rack and pinion steering or other big $$$ stuff in there may negate that.
I am not the other guy on Facebook.
You may copy and paste this to Facebook if you do not want to explain it to them.

First thing that hits me is the brakes are plumbed to the wrong parts of the master. Front brakes should go to rear connection on the cylinder, Rear brakes to front of cylinder. Second thing is it looks like they are using an outlet on the proportioning valve as the inlet and the switch is in the wrong port. I could be wrong on that, I'd have to look at the proper plumbing spec to be sure.
