im doing an agr steering conversion...steering box 12:1 and pump, ive replaced the pressure return hose about a year and a half back and it looks pretty strong for the new pump and steering box, but my power hose is leaking and just needs to be replaced im pretty sure its the stock one...it has the screw type fastener rings like the ones on a radiator hose and im trying to get one that will support the high psi that the new equipment will put out..any suggestions on what kind of hose and where to get it and installation tips from someone the has done this conversion with quick ratio boxes???thanks for the input

hope you have better luck with agr than i did. i did the same swap with my 70ss and had to take apart the pump twice. metal shavings from inside the gear box ruined the pump. i rebuilt it but it was scarred to bad but i had the stock one and i rebuilt it and used the pressure valve out of the agr pump and it has worked fine to this point. i took the box and pump into my local earls supply speed shop and got all braided steel hoses and fittings, cost was about 125 if i remember correctly.
