Power steering pump outlet hose ?
Hi. I'm just hooking up my new hoses to the power steering pump for my '79 and the outlet hose is very long. Is there a specific reason it comes in this length, for performance reasons, or can I chop it off to suit the distance better? Is there a minimum length as well or just common sense?

Just remember that the hoses go the the control valve that will move
as you turn your wheel. If you make it too short, it will bind.
