Where's a good source to get the proper diameter hose.

Both myself & a friend have a repro hose & it turns out they are both pourus.   :eek2:

I had a PS return line problem also.  The hose mat. seemed to soak up the fluid and turn into a slimy mess.

I went with 11/32 Gates fuel line and have no problems.  I got it at Baxter Auto parts.  It should be easy to find elsewhere. :shruggy:

That's exactly what mine's becoming. Thanks for the tip!   :2thumbs:

Mark, is that the repro KV hose you are referring to?
I gotta go take a look at mine now...  :-\

Exactly.

I ended up getting a power steering return line that was specifically made for power steering.  I think it is reinforced or something as it seems to be thicker than the normal stuff.

As did I....has 11/32 white markings on it also.

Now the crappy repro 11/32 PCV hose is a different story...pretty soon Ill be able to wad that one up like silly putty  :rotz:

Guess I lucked out with mine with the PCV hose.  Although, mine is fairly old and I had gotten it from Bill Alphin too.
