How did you guys run your power steering hoses ?? I have a 69 Camaro with the complete Holley LS swap kit. I was just looking for ideas. AN fittings, no AN fittings, routing etc ...Thx.

I had a shop make the pressure line, and there is an inexpensive return hose with good length made in the aftermarket. One end threads right in the box, and cut to length with a clamp on the reservoir side. I'll get you that part number in a bit.

AN adapter fittings at the box and use ptfe lines.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not sold on the AN fittings for power steering. I would prefer custom bent tube ends like OEM. I'm using a metric box and they don't have leak issues with stock fittings.

I use them on brake systems that go over 1000 psi on hydroboost and never an issue. Not to mention that is all that is used in aviation. Talk to bent metal on here about custom making some lines.

I was referring to the AN conversion on power steering and using all hose from box to pump. I do like AN fittings for other applications and agree they are very good. I will try and contact bent metal, THX!!
