These are economy replacement hoses by Scott Drake. Aftermarket type hoses without original Ford markings in most cases. Made in the U.S.A.
This hose will work as a return line for either a small or big block 1967 - 1970. This hose is designed for a 2 piece return line application, so to make it work you will need to also purchase a chunk of generic hose. This is needed to connect this hose to your power steering pump. Depending on the routing of your hoses you will need a different length of hose. If your hoses are big block routed, you can purchase our Premium Pump to Return Hose.
You can also use this hose on your 67 or 68 to patch the control valve end of your return line if it is leaking. Just cut your existing return line and using a hose clamp, connect this hose to the control valve end of your return hose and then connect it to the control valve. Make sure you leave enough of the old line to the pump intact that the hose is long enough once this hose is attached.
This hose is the hose most Mustang / Cougar parts vendors offer. It is a rubber flex hose with economy fittings. Use caution when tightening these down as they are susceptible to stripping if you torque them to the specs called for by FORD. We do not recommend these hoses and can not stand behind them as they often will leak if not torqued to the proper specs.
