1968 Barracuda Notch 340
Fired the motor yesterday morning with power steering in for the first time and the wheel shook violently back and forth in my hand. All I could do was smirk, drop my head and shut it off, I knew I had made a mistake instantly. So even with a printed picture showing pressure and return I most certainly had the hoses bass ackwards. Off to buy a Turkey baster. Thankful the inlet fittings are identical, used the baster and some strategy to minimize the fluid mess and got the hoses switched, bled, and fired up this angry little 340. All appears well.
As for the front caliper leak, I remembered the d.b. kit came with large copper seal washers, the braided flex hose kit had much narrower seals I flipped a coin at the time and used the fatties. Decided to switch in the skinnier washers and hello! Leak gone.
