Hello, I feel like I am missing something here. I am in the middle of trying to get rid of my power steering leaks and I am going to order new lines. The back of my power steering pump has a nipple style fitting and from my understanding the high pressure line is a 2 pice line: POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE 1970-74 FORD MAVERICK 1971-74 MERCURY COMET 302 8-CYL FROM PUMP 22-INCHES LONG (618) and PRESSURE HOSE POWER STEERING 1969-70 FORD MUSTANG COUGAR 1970 FAIRLANE FALCON 1970-71 TORINO RANCHERO FROM PUMP (636) The line that goes to the back of the pump though has a male fitting while my pump needs a female. Am I looking at the wrong lines or do I need some type of adapter fitting? I have attached a photo of what the fitting looks like just for clarification. Thanks
That single Fairlane hose has correct ends. I doubt it but may be a bit long. Rockauto has the original two piece type hoses. I'd rather have the single, only reason there are two is for ease of install on assembly line. Pump with hose was installed with engine, control valve end hose installed with drag link. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog...53,steering,power+steering+pressure+hose,7320
Right behind my power steering pump is pretty tight. I do not think that straight piece coming off the female fitting would clear the tower.the current line in it has a bend right off the pump. Do you mind me asking what pump yours has? I got this pump from a 68 mustang I believe.
Pump on mine is a replacement Cardone. Regardless of use, outlet is same through '75, changed in '76. You are correct, hoses pictured are not going to fit. They are showing the '76- newer hoses. I should have looked a bit closer. Look at hoses for '69 Fairlane, the ones shown for pump have correct 90+* bend. In actuality I think hose(s) on my '69 Fairlane & Comet are same ones. Both have the two piece pressure hoses, angle forward to clear oil filter. . https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog...15,steering,power+steering+pressure+hose,7320
Yup, the hose connecting the control valve end is the same part number as that for the maverick and fairline. I am going to go ahead and order the one for the airline for the pump end and then the other for the control valve end so tis 2 pieces. Thanks for the help, I saw your photos of your power steering lines in a previous post and that is what raised concern for me haha.
