I bought a p/s hose kit from moparmall.com and the end that screws into the pump is too large. Is there more than one kind of p/s pump? I believe it to be original. Is there a hose maker that has the right parts for a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere with a 301 v8?

You may be able to step it down using a brass fitting. Bring it to NAPA or other to match it up.

Thank you for the fitting idea. I went back an looked at the old hose. There was a step down fitting attached. I couldn't tell at first since it was rusty and dirty. So the part from moparmall.com was in spec my ps pump is not original. Interesting.

I'm glad we have this board to work with.

I converted the 59 Dodge I'm working on to P/S and ran into somewhat the same problem. I went to a hose and fitting shop and had a hose custom made. It was about $100 til I got done and got it routed away from the exh manifold. Jerry

I used a reducer fitting on the part that screws into the pump and the rest of the hoses fit well. Problem solved.

I had to find a v belt for this same unit. The one listed for 1957 Plymouth was too short by about 1.5 inches but the one for a 1957 Dodge 5.2 fit fairly easily.
