I am trying to source a power steering hose from the remote reservoir to the pump on my 1987 R20 454. The hose has a 45deg bend at the bottom of the reservoir then a a small bend heading into the pump. To sharp for a straight hose to be used. I looks to be 5/8 hose? maybe 3/4.
Any help with a part number or source would be helpful. All the sites I have been too seem to just have the return hose from the steering box to the pump.

Thanks!

Check Napa Online or Inline Tube. Napa online has pictures of several different hoses.

Rumblegawg,
Thanks for the tip, but that seems to be the return hose from the box to the pump. I need the molded hose from the remote reservoir to the pump. Looks to be 5/8 id maybe.

If you cant find one you could always have one made. Without the original it may be a little more difficult because they'll need to know the bends and directions of them.

actually it's .72 id and it comes a little long so you can trim it.
this hose will fit from your ps pump to the ps reservoir mounted up high at the front of the block

I needed this same hose and could not really find anything that had the correct bends. I ended up using heater hose with two EZ Coil springs to prevent kinking. It looks pretty good and worked.

I tried making my own molded hose like a guy did on YouTube. I could not get that to work so I went the coil spring route.

This is what I used.
