I have a 69 Mach1 That now has disc brakes all around. The problem is i did not take the car appart so, now i am at the point of assembling the car back after a complete rebuild. there are no brake lines on it at this time. Anyone know of a diagram that shows the brake lines for this paticular set-up?

The shop manual should show the brake line diagram. With that said, it is a simple installation, basically routing the lines to where they need to go. The biggest thing is getting the year specific kits to fit properly when changing the brake system out. Mainly at the end points, the long runs in between runs should fit as expected. Secure the lines as needed. If you need to custom fit anywhere along the way, you'll need a tubing bender, a tubing cutter, and possibly a flare kit. If you choose to buy bulk line and install the lines yourself, it can be very tricky to get the lines bent just right to fit where needed. This is the way I did mine after buying a year specific kit that didn't fit my brake setup at all (yes, that one is on me). If I had to do it again, I would buy in bulk again, and do the custom install. I picked up the bulk lines at NAPA. A lot cheaper too than the pre-made kits.

It's not that hard to get bulk lines to fit The trick is to cut a coat hangar to the same length as the brake line, bend the coat hanger to fit, then match the line to the coat hangar. I wouldn't want to do it for the line running to the rear of the car, but doing the fronts isn't too bad. My front lines fit like a glove. I doubt pre-bent lines would fit that well.
