Hello, I have a '55 400 that I'm putting back together and neglected to take pictures of the transmission line routing and clipping points. Can someone please sent me a picture of theirs? I assume one goes on the bell housing and the other goes on one of the oil pan bolts. My lines got a little bent out of shape when I pulled and reinstalled the engine, so it's not really intuitive which clip goes where and how it should be oriented. Also, I removed the power steering pump and forgot to mark which power steering line goes to which port, does anyone have an answer for this also? I took some pictures before I took the engine out and upon reviewing them now they're pretty useless, lol.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate the help!

It is somewhat hard to get photos of them after installation in car so here are a couple of shots of the tubes on an old engine -- no extra charge for the close up view of a mud dauber nest.

There is a double clamp at the bellhousing and another which uses a rear bolt at the motor mount. Not sure of your status with engine but with all the obstructions, it is extremely difficult to get the lines in once the engine is mounted in the car. It has to be done from under the car and you may have to disconnect the exhaust pipe. With the line length, unless you want to bend, position and then rebend once they are sort of in position the car needs to be fairly high.
