So here's what I found out. The first hose I ordered didn't fit at all. On the power steering chunk, the hose was bent to the inside which hit the headers no matter how I tried to turn it, and the pump end of the hose seemed to be made to go into the top of the pump, like the Federal pumps do...

Now that you mention it, I believe I do remember that. But that was a long time ago so I can't be sure :-)

On the original bolts, where was the seal?

That's an excellent resource! Thanks Working Dog! I have now saved it as well.

No, that I do remember! Thank you, though, for helping me (and others) avoid costly mistakes.

:lol: Thanks again! We're headed to the store.

I appreciate it!

My wife and I just started working on her project Dart ('75 Sport with a '71 340). It's been 30 years since my last Mopar and I completely forgot about the power steering bolts going through the water jacket. What thread sealer do you folks typically go with? Thanks!

I know this is old, but any chance you can email the article to me? It seems to have vanished from the web.

Hey folks, How do I know if the power steering pump pulley I have is small block or slant 6? It was a donor from a box of random parts, no idea what car it came from, but it's going on a 340. Thanks!

I didn't take it that way at all. I've alive long enough to have a pretty thick skin. Well, some of that *might* be fat, but still... :D

I might be overthinking it, that's a possibility. I just wanted to get the correct one without a lot of running back and forth. I live basically in the middle of nowhere and it's easily an hour to the closest retail parts store.

This helps a lot! It's the same pump as far as I can tell, and I didn't think that the hose would go up like that before going down. I guess it has something to do with making sure there's enough flex in the rubber line when the engine revs? At any rate, I appreciate the photos!

While it doesn't help for my specific setup because your pump is different, I DO appreciate it! Every variation and little bit of knowledge is getting stored in my head. I hope. :) Thanks!

EXACTLY! Except I don't have brake line but I do have soft copper and 10 gauge copper wire and fuel or vacuum line.

Not a problem! I mean, I swear I've looked at every variant for A bodies in the last week, so I know how confusing it can be, especially when some sites list several options for each car and they are all a little different from each other. I can't believe there was that much difference between...

Those are for the Borgeson steering gear box conversion.

I absolutely will! I think the parts come Thursday, but it may be the weekend before it's installed. It's my wife's Dart and she wants to be the one getting her hands dirty fixing it up. I'm going to be the technical consultant and gopher, which I'm stoked about!

Thanks for that. The one that came off may have been from a B body - I took a trip to a Mopar friend's place yesterday and he showed me a few that looked really close to what I had, but even he was stumped by what it was from. While walking around looking at things I mentioned I would've to...

That looks similar to the one I just ordered. I'll know if it works in about a week.

AND - thanks for the picture under the battery tray, that really does help!

Thanks! Yours is a Federal (which you probably mentioned), but it's good to see what the routing looks like.

That's where I was looking and where I got the picture from. I just can't see how the bends in those will fit...that's why I was hoping someone would post a picture of their current set up.

It's all good, I've just been awake five hours already and haven't had a sufficient amount of caffeine!

Thanks, Mike, I think I'll have to. Yeah, there I'll check. The funny thing is I thought, "Hey that one picture looks JUST like the one I have!" It took a second to realize that yeah, that's my house in a spare door. :D

Right? That's why I'm wondering if the straight ones I see will actually work, maybe I just need to get one and try all the different geometry. :)

If I can't locate a new one, maybe, but was hoping to avoid the extra expense.

My pump is supposed to be an early Saginaw. Attaching a picture of that, too.

Unfortunately not. That looks like it adapts thread types, and still wouldn't address the shape of the metal pressure line. :( I appreciate it, though!

Hi guys and gals, I'm trying to replace some bad power steering hoses on my wife's "new" 1975 Dart Sport. It was originally a slant 6 but was swapped to a 340 with a Saginaw pump. No matter which site I look at, I'm seeing hoses with a fairly straight section on the pump end, and hers is more...
