So, there's 3 lines coming out of the proportioning block or valve... 2 lines are smaller, one is bigger.

Are the two smaller lines to the front (even though they're both in the rear of the block/valve) with the bigger line going to the rear brakes?

Now, the first picture shows the line lock solenoid plumbed into the brake system. But the more I thought about it, the more I was sure that the larger diameter line must go to the rear brakes instead of one of the fronts.

On the second picture, the lines going into the top are, of course, coming out of the master cylinder.

Over to the far right just above the plastic wrap is the thicker line I was talking about; I have cut the fitting off using a tube cutter so all that's visible is an unflared steel line.

The 2 remaining lines, which are smaller in diameter once you pull the wire wrap off them, are still in the valve/block, one on the angled surface just to the right of the large, black exhaust fitting, and the other line is directly below that.

Can someone verify that for me, please?

Sigh...

I'm thinking next time, I'll ask first.

I figured it out from your pic.

The smaller lines are for the front; the bigger line for the rear.

I put it in the same way I did the 69, but obviously, the fittings and locations changed just the tiniest bit over the intervening 18 years or so.

I've got the cutter, bender and flare tools so it shouldn't be that big a hassle, but it is a PITA making that happen in the engine compartment with the engine in there.

Thanks for the pic... and thanks for responding before I tried the line lock with the wrong plumbing hooked up.

I get the feeling THAT would have been just the tiniest bit awkward.
