[Chrysler300] '56 Power Steering Hose

[cotejohnr@xxxxxxx]

Hi all,
I needed a new power steering hose for one of my '56 New Yorkers and 
since it uses the same hose as a '56 300B, I thought this would be 
useful to everyone with a "B" and also a C300.

Our website lists NAPA hose # 7-1108 as a replacement so I bought one.  
I installed it and it looked like a "snake" coming up from the steering 
column to the pump.  ie; it was much too long for a '56.

Went to NAPA store and they let me look through their catalog of power 
steering hoses and I found the correct end fittings and a hose about 8 
inches shorter which provided a much improved installation to the eaton 
pump.  So for all you '55-'56 owners out there, the better fitting hose 
(if you don't have an NOS one kicking around ! ) from NAPA is # 7-829 . 


Maybe someone (?) could update our website section on parts 
replacements for the '55-'56 to name this NAPA number as the preferred 
replacement or the alternative.  I'm not sure and haven't compared 
them,  but it may also be better for later letter cars as well.

To all that are going to Asheville...have an enjoyable and safe trip 
and don't forget to check out the indoor pool at the Biltmore Mansion!!
