Re: power steering trivia

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,
 On mine I used a 95 Grand Cherokee hose to mate the 4.0L to the 73 box.
On the box end I cut the grand Cherokee hose off flush against the rib the O-ring sets on and then removed the O-ring nut and installed a regular P/S flare nut, Flared the line and it fit perfectly.
 I don't know what the end of a Concord or Eagle hose looks like that goes to the box.
 You may be able to do the same.
If that won't work my next try would be a  High pressure hose for a 75 Camaro with a V-8
They used Drivers pump and box and they should be flare fittings on both ends.
 Go to a chain store and check out the mid 70's Chevy hoses they have in stock. I think the change over to O-ring was 77 or 78.
