Power Steering Fluid Hoses - Leak
I have replaced the power steering fluid hoses on my 69 but they are still leaking - I am afraid of overtightening - anybody have a trick of the trade.

That's what I'd try also. If it doesn't work you probably have a bad flare or you may have cross threaded one on the bolts putting them in. More than likely though you didn't tighten them enough.
