Hi Bronconaut,
Notice the "swivel" part - the pump connection can swivel 360 degrees and not leak.
I am having power steering issues with a '70 Bronco.
One of the first things I noticed was the pressure side fitting at the pump. The pump swivels even when tight, and there is enough flex that you can move the tube around quite a bit in the fitting.
Although it doesn't leak fluid, I am wondering if that fitting could be allowing air into the system.
In case any of you guys are still watching this thread, can you tell me if you're still okay with the free swivel in that fitting/tube?
Also, if anyone knows a part number for the hose, the that the OP wrote about, I would be interested, too.
I have attached a .pdf of the pic I took yesterday. (The arrows and text on it just go back to the free swivel condition.)
Thanks
Jeff
