I need to replace the power steering hose on my car and I bought one from NAPA and it does not seem to be the correct one, or I should say that the one that I bought does not match the one that is on the car. Could someone post pictures of what each end should look like so I can determine which hose that I have is correct?
The hose that I am referring to is the one with fittings on both ends. I believe that I have the Saginaw type pump and both of my current hoses (NAPA new and existing) measure around 28" long. I have looked up the hose on YO and they show that they should be 35" long so I am confused which one I should have for the car.

Thanks

A '70 340 car should have a Federal power steering pump. ('69 model year used Saginaw)

I took a couple of pictures of what the existing pump/hose ends look like. Maybe this will help determine which pump I have and which hose I need.

P/S Hose End Type : 5/16" Female S.A.E. x 3/8" Male Inv. Flare
Power Steering Hose Imperial Length : 34 1/4"

I found your description to match another one at NAPA that I can pickup.

That is a replacement pump and the hose was on the car when I bought it 9+ years ago.
I will trade in my current new hose for the hose with the above description.
Thank you

So the NAPA 71574 worked fine for your 340/Saganaw even though the description shows it for a 383/440?
Does it matter if i need a 3/8 inverted flare versus a 3/8 o-ring type?
I agree, my current hose does not look like the correct application.
Does the 71574 go behind, or underneath the ps pump?



Thank you very much.

I am not sure if I have the flare or the o-ring, I have not had that hose off yet. I was waiting to remove it once I had a hose that looked correct first.
I will be picking up a NAPA 71574 tonight. It has the o-ring but I will try it and see.
Thanks for the picture.

Auto,
I finally got around to testing the 1574 hose from NAPA. What I found is that the NAPA hose has a female fitting for the power steering box (right end of the below picture), and my power steering box has a female thread (ref the #1 picture at the top of this thread). So I would need a male/male fitting to make this hose connect. Does this sound right?
The fitting at the power steering pump end looks fine but the bend is wrong. I could rebend the metal tube to make it work though. If I can find a fitting to adapt this hose, I will bend it to fit. I wonder if I have a replacement power steering box that is messing this up along with the replacement pump combo too.

Update: I just checked a 74 Challenger 360 ps hose and it does have the 5/16 male o-ring fitting for the ps box. I must have a 74 box then. I could not find the correct adapter so I have ordered the NAPA #7-6115 hose that has the correct ends but the bend in the tube will need to be modified.

Thanks
