Default Power steering pump hose?
72 small block...Does the large line coming from the PS pump reservoir require a hose clamp, at the reservoir? Cant remember if I took one off or just pulled off the rubber hose?

Thanks.

If you got lucky and it didn't leak, the opposite could happen and air could actually be drawn into your system from that connection. You need to put a clamp on it.
