That one is for a C4 if you read the description. NPD has the C6 version https://www.npdlink.com/product/clips-transmission-modulator-line/205945  . It is a 1 800 number away although I always like going to the salvage yards.

NPD shows out of stock.
A comparison of the "1969 Mustang Chassis Assembly Manual" (AM0030) pg45 (the application is for 390/428 with a "XPL" transmission) and "Ford Car Parts" (aka MPC) 1975 edition, Illustration section A71 page 1, show different line routes and different brackets.
The part in NPD picture looked familiar but the ones I have are for 66-67 C4 transmissions.

I am sorry to report that Chris is checking on forum posts from heaven RIP. He passed away last year. He was great guy and we miss him. His son took over the business. He has a lot of irons in the fire with the collision/restoration business. I am not optimistic that you will get anywhere if you try and buy this one small part. His contact info is at  http://www.brownsautobodyservices.com/ . Best of luck with your search.
