This is the 1967- 1968 retrofit or re-route hose kit!
The tubing bends are all "spot on" and the portion that passes through the rubber insulator are identical to NOS for 1969. You will not find these at your local auto parts store or the the "Mustang Discount" folks.
These hoses will also work on a 1967 or 1968 5/16" control valve fitting if it is routed the same as the big block. You will need to purchase the power steering hose bracket for the big block in order to make it work. This is a much better route as it makes it so the hoses do not rub against the exhaust manifold.
1967 Owners Please Note: We highly recommend upgrading to the
large nut (5/16") control valve as the small nut control valve posses a
potential safety issue, thus the reason why Ford replaced it the
following year. The small nut system was engineered dangerously close
to the maximum psi tolerances of the crimp that holds the fitting on the
tubing.
The holes are not pre-drilled on the 67-68 small blocks to mount the big block hose bracket. The locations of the hoses are marked on the engine side of the frame stands, but they will need to be drilled out. See pic below:
