Got the 7-1108 PS pressure hose and a return hose from NAPA thanx to this list, no thanx to their kid employees. As noted by other list members, the 7-1108 is not an exact fit. The total length is about 3" longer than stock, the pump end fitting is 90* bend rather than 45*, the steering box end fitting is much longer and 90* bend rather than straight. A more reasonable approximation could be made by cutting and re-flaring the steering box end and bending the pump end. [As I needed to get the car back on the road I used the 7-1108 as-is, necessitating looping the hose towards the firewall to use up the extra length.] Another adventure was that the return hose they sold me was a "lock-on" type which is much too stiff to go over the spades on the fittings of our cars. No one at NAPA seemed to even know the difference. What you need is 5/8" fuel line. Once the right hoses were available it was a five minute job. --Roger van Hoy, Washougal, WA, '55 DeSoto, '58 DeSoto, '42 DeSoto, '66 Plymouth, '41 Dodge ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1
