    Hey guys just joined the forum.. Howdy from Texas Yall.LOL. I picked up a 74 comet for my son. It has the usual rust issues etc.. 4.1 liter inline six with power steering,front discs,and ac. In the process of doing a valve job. Will be using the forum to find vacuum line routing, power steering hose routing{has small oil cooler mounted on drivers side of engine bay with no hoses attached}, and other usefull info.Looks like a lot of great comet stuff here. Also working on my own car , A 1964 AMC Rambler American that I installed a For 302 with c4 trans and 73 maverick 8 inch rear end. Just need to learn to navigate the forum. Thanks. P.S. I had a 70 maverick back in late 70s that was fun.

    :Welcome: from Atlantic Canada!

    The P/S cooler is on the return line. You just need a hose from the control valve to the cooler, and the. From the cooler to the return line on the pump.

    Rthomas721 has a website with Ford Vacuum Diagrams.
