    I am trying to run my p/s lines on my 73 Comet and would like to see some pictures of a good clean way to run them.

    Thanks, Chuck

    This is close, missing bracket that secures hoses on back side of lower control arm mount... Basically it's a fairly thick metal band that's rubber coated, now days seems to be missing on almost all...

    Thanks for the picture, Tom.
    My pressure hose does not look like yours, what pump are you using?
    One of these days I would like to meet you and check out your Comet, I'm working over in Hampton.

    Thanks, Chuck

    This is how my '73 V8 lines were run including the cooler.

    Pump is whatever was installed when I got it, apparently a '72 replacement... Pressure line exits from back, curves under pump toward the radiator and then back under car, return line connects to bottom side of pump... The pump end pressure line was also on it when I got car but a replacement is same...

    Are you living in Hampton??

    Thanks, for the info.
    I am staying at Buckroe Beach, I get to go home one week end a month. It would be nice to see some other Comets/Mavericks.

    Thanks, Chuck
