Power steering lines and pump - Jpr777 - 09-24-15

Hi all
I noticed that my pressure line on the power steer pump is a two piece hose with a larger hose first reduced to a smaller hose before it goes into box.
Is there any reason for this as I would like to run one line.
Also how do you unscrew the centre of pump from outer housing.
Cheers

Is it a Federated or a Saginaw Pump? (Post a picture of it if you are unsure).

If the line works and no leaks I would not change it. Some come that way for one reason or another, restrict flow, stop a chatter ....

I agree Andy. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

Not knowing what style pump you have jpr777, below is a picture of a typical high pressure line for the 67 Coronets which is most likely very similar to your current high pressure line.

I'll tell ya what,I'll do a test, I'll run a single line at both the smaller and larger diameters and see what's the difference and let you know how I go, won't be for another month though.

Hello jpr777,

If you own a copy of the 1967 Factory Service Manual for your Coronet, you might want to read section 19 which covers all of the topics related to manual and power steering systems.
