The hard line at the control valve has a few bends. The old line bends around the frame. All the new lines bend into the frame. The new lines have an angle that will not allow installation.

The standard setup for 67-68 small V8 PS is for the hoses to come straight up from the valve, to a bracket at the top-rear of the LH motor mount. Are you trying to come straight forward, below the mount? The 65-66 did that, as well as 67-68 Shelby and big-block.
The control valve is beneath the mount, and outside of the mount. It bends down around the mount then inside the mount before turning up.
If I'm envisioning your description, that's pretty weird. The pressure hose should exit the pump, loop upward in an 8" loop, then straight toward the firewall just below the LH exhaust manifold, to the bracket at the top rear of the motor mount. Then it turns straight down to the valve. The return follows the same route, except no loop.
After the bracket on the motor mount it turns down and then has another turn to reach the valve. This is my problem. Old hose bends around the frame, new hose bends into the frame. New hose wont align with valve connection point because hard line hits the frame.
