Good day,
Have a question about power steering lines for a 66 NO AC with a 390, I picked up new PS lines but they seem to leak at the pump around the inside of the nut next to the metal line. - they did not come with any o rings not to say they should have but does anyone know if they should have, what size or a link to a better set of hoses ?
Thanks for the help.

Is it a flare type fitting? It may not be seated just right, and may not be tight enough. At the pump, one will be a high pressure line and the other is a return, so I assume it is the high pressure line that is leaking. Inspect and clean the sealing surfaces well and try to get it tighter, if it continues to leak.

Thanks for the reply - I will take an objective look at it tomorrow and see if I can get then ends in flat before I bring the nut down but you have to be a contortionist to get in there maybe I will take the master cylinder back out its only 2 bolts. - just got the radiator and hoses back in today - still to go is wiring the new 12v wires for the coil and electric choke then the alternator - then I think she is ready to start - fresh new engine.
