I am installing my power steering lines and wish they were a bit shorter. Got the line kit from Ground Up. Does it look like I am heading in the right direction with the routing? Think its a good idea to run the lines down and thru the motor mount? Would take up some slack that way. Not sure I have the hard line from the pump oriented correctly. Also, where can I get the spacer required for the bracket to header area? I don't want to use a socket...lol. Finally, The upper right bracket has a threaded hole with integrated nut, as shown in the third pic down. Any idea what this goes to? Advice or pics appreciated. thanks
i dont have a pic to post, but i looked at mine......take the line off the pump,feed it under the engine,and around the mount, from the back side,the box side of the hose,should be facing to the front and down to clear the headers, mines a 73 with blackjack headers,and there is no problem with the hose clearance. hope this is of some help

i believe the threaded hole is an acc mount, the unthreaded hole is supposed to go to the exhaust manifold, you can use a spacer to make up the difference.

Yea, this helps. thanks. As long as I know the hose can go below the motor and around the mount I should be golden. If anyone else has some pics to share, be my guest.
