I have seen the power brake hose routed under the throttle bracket and over it.
The bracket on some cars have a finger in the front and I have seen the hose go under it, my car does not have this bracket.
There is a bracket with a loop in the rear that the hose may go through.

This is the bracket I have, I have seen the hose go under the bracket but it makes for a tight bend and it often kinked.
I see no reason to not just go over.

I'll do a couple test this evening and post some pictures.

This will work but I am more interested in what was original.

I would need to put the carb and air cleaner on and size the hose but this is what I had in mind.

I thought this was the correct bracket and the hose goes thru the round hole.

You bracket doesn't look right to me...

I believe this bracket is a later style.

I have a picture of another 69 CHP car with the same style that I have, presumably original.

Thanks,

I think the cars I have seen with the hose like this that were kinked probably had the hose too short. I don't really see the need to go under but if that is the way it was.

You got the right bracket. Ma Mopar didn't always make it look pretty! Try a 90% fitting and trimming your hose just a bit.
