Default Big Block PS Hose Routing AIM Sheet(s) Needed

Can anyone scan the power steering hose routing AIM sheet(s) for the big block (1968 through 1974) and send them to me. The small block 1975 sheet is UPC 9E sheet 6 so the big block sheet is probably around that same area.

Thanks in advance.

Jim, I don't have a scanner so I can't send this to you! I have a 68 AIM. The steering section (Section 9) only has the manual steering components. The power steering (they call it "hydraulic" steering ) is at the back of the book in Section N, because power steering is an option, N40... There is a perverse logic to all this! There is no distinction between bigblock and smallblock power steering assembly in 68. I also suspect 68 is different from other years. What year do you actually need?

edit - diagram of belts pulleys and pump is different for bigblocks, but only one diagram for "valves and hoses" MJ

There is a unique big block power steering pressure hose. So I suspect that there may be a unique routing compared too the small block pressure hose. If someone has a 1974 or 1973 AIM manual, there may be unique sheets for the big block. The small block pressure hose routing shown in the 1975 AIM book is in UPC 9E, Sheet 6. If someone could eMail the big block sheet(s) to me I would appreciate it.

Thanks for looking, I'm sure some one later tonight may have a 73 or 74 AIM book. I know the pump mounts somewhat differently (brackets, pulley, etc) on a Big Block even though it is in roughly the same location.

Tom,
Thanks for the 1973 AIM sheets. The big block and small block pressure hoses are shown together on the same sheet.

Just what I needed!

Thanks again,
