Finding Power Steering Hose Replacement

[Toyaddict71]

Hello All. Having a problem identifying what power steering pressure hose I have on my '74 EB. I blew it out and ordered the stock hose. its less than half the length of the old hose. I wedged it on, but it took forever and is in a nasty bend. So bad, its already cracking out. There are no numbers on the original hose. the original is around 33 inches long compared to around 14" for the new one. Anyone else run into this? Thanks for any help!

Was going through my stuff the other day and found my ps hose from when I did my efi swap decades ago and I made my own hose using Russel fittings and lines. Not sure if that helps you or not, but an option.

Thanks. I found some custom kits with 90 degree fittings I am planning to use for last resort. They are a bit pricey and not sure how user friendly they are. I'm hoping someone has run into this before and has an plug-in solution. Thanks for recommendation!

The aftermarket hoses are about half the length of the OEM one. One crazy loop-de-loop at the top above the pump and they work fine.

Replaced the hose properly and of course made huge difference. Wish they provided a diagram with the replacement hose,would have made all the difference, Thanks again for the help!
