Power Steering Line

[Fuel 29]

All,

Been working on my 64 Sport Fury (493 stroker, with max wedge repo exhaust manifolds, 4 speed and front disks) and I have a concern. The power steering pressure line which comes into the steering box is only about 3/8" from the bottom of the exhaust manifold. The box has a fitting which if I had one the made a 90 degree turn instead of using the hose elbow would provide another 1/2"

Thoughts?

If your looking for a 90* brass fitting on steering box put a want ad for it. Somebody on here may have bought these? I pointed to this ebay ad. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203672746510

I am, but need to know what to look for. Then, I'll post a want ad, or just order one from a auto parts store.

A picture of fittings in link.Think there's supposed to be an o-ring on nut side with threads, think one on bottom has one.

Fran, on my 67 Hemi Charger I have the 90 brass fitting on my steering box to accept the power steering hose. I bought a new hose from Norms Speed Shop (because there was not one on my car when I bought it). The power steering female end that attaches to the 90 degree fitting is hitting the inner fender and won't allow me to connect to the 90 degree fitting and tighten securely. Do you happen to have a photo of your power steering hose that attaches to your fitting? I would like to see if I have the correct (new) hose or maybe I need to have it altered at my local hydraulic shop. Any help is appreciated. The hose advertised in the first photo and the one he sent me is the second photo. Looks to me that the fittings are wrong on the one he sent to me. What do you think?

Here's a picture of PS hose I bought 40 years ago at a local parts store. It is an exactly like the factory. Wonder if a warehouse has one still sitting on a shelve,million to one. Omega is the brand.
