Default Power steering hose routing.

Putting my car back together after heads/cam and everything is fine except I can't seem to figure out which way the power steering lines route down around the rack. The U-shaped line is the one I can't seem to figure out. does it go underneath the rack and then out the front? Does anyone have a diagram for this?

This I like to know too. I some how managed to put it back in place, but I'm not 100% sure I routed it the right way.

Can't help you on the hose routing.

But what did you end up having Texas Speed do to your heads? Did you stick to the following plan you mentioned earlier with the guides and the valves, or did you add something else?

Sounds like a winner.

Good luck with the install.

That is great info, I have noticed the low speed steering studder and have the old style hose.

On another note the 'old design' pressure hose is pita to install/remove. The brake lines make the routing a cluster.

Thank You Sir.
