Used until '67, but apparently they work up to '70 at least. A very good brake setup, as long as you keep it maintained.

Congratulations, Harrison

i'm with Kramer here ... i DON'T know this exact setup, but I have a feeling as well that the calipers are swapped from left to right.
Unless noone here knows better, I'd suggest you sent a picture to the seller to confirm you have them mounted the right way round.

edit: I just had another look. You can't move them left to right, as otherwise you cannot mount them.
and if you swap and turn you'll end up with the same thing again
so no matter what way you swap them you'll always end up with the bleeder and hardline outside.
Or you end up with having them pointing down, which is clearly wrong.

So ya ... ignore what I said
