Guy's I have a 67 sb with power steering. the hose that all the books say fits this car is too short because of the way they bend the pump side. If you cut the first bend out and reflare the end it leaks, even with a double flare. The hose is a 3/8s male on the pump side and a 7/16 male on the steering side, and about 24 inches in length. Any suggestions Thanks All!!

Just measured mine and it is 27 1/2 from bend to bend. I got mine at Autozone,,Duralast # 70230. This hose is for a 67 350 application.

A 67-69 pressure hose will have a female fitting on the pump end.
A 1974 Nova pressure hose has the male fitting on the pump end and that year Nova has the same subframe as a first gen Camaro.
Powercraft/Edelman hose #70973

Pressure side, My hose came from groundup also. I'm told that some pumps have a male male fitting that converts the pump side fitting. Anyone know anything about that? Thanks!

The hose from Autozone came with the adapter that screws into the threads on the pump. The hose will have a female/male ends that will work with the pump and steering box.
