I don't know anything about power steering. That said, I'm installing an old Edelbrock Crossram intake manifold on the 350 in my '68 Camaro. There's a 1/2 or 5/8 hose that runs from the power steering booster to the original intake manifold but there's no such thing on the Crossram. What do I do about that hose??? Thanks much................

Sure you not talking about the power brake booster?

Absolutely right!! Busy freakin day at work. It's the power brake booster... What the heck do I do with that hose? Thanks for the correction and any help.

This is on a GM crossram but I think its the same. Looking from the front of the engine, in front on the right carb there should be a fitting in the manifold for the brake booster. The fitting may just be missing and you need to pick one up. I've seem some fittings that had a T and the brake booster and PCV line both went to it and then some with just the brake booster alone.

Thanks Max. The Emanifold I have isn't like the ones GM made. It's the one where the carbs sit directly across from each other rather than staggered. There's no place for a fitting. I'd post a pic but I don't have one. What you've shown shows using the PVC connection hooked in with the intake manifold.

Well since there are no fittings, it most likely hooks up to the large manifold vacuum ports on one of the carbs. The one that the PCV would go into. If you can, get a picture of it and I'm sure somebody will know for sure.
