What's the deal with the 77 era high pressure power steering lines?
Putting power steering pump on a buddies 77 for him. The lines are shot. Everything that I look at for the high pressure side is not the right line. Ordered one from AutoZone... not even close... everybody else shows the same line although I did find one place that showed two different lines with or without an air pump. Car does not have an air pump, but neither one of those appear to be correct either. I can't seem to find the right line. The only thing that might be close is that the parts place shows that have some water original OEM but even that doesn't look right. The line comes out of the gearbox loops around the front above the stabilizer bar and then pops into the back of the pump with 180 degree Loop. I can't find this line anywhere.... anyone have any clue what the deal is with these? I'm ready just to toss the one on I got to see if it'll fit but before I did I thought I'd ask here.

Not sure what the deal is, but everything I could find matched your new hose until I looked up a 1980 Cutlass.

Right, but if they are not flaired, can the O rings be used and attached to the pump and gearbox. Have not tried yet, still trying to locate the right line. My local NAPA is going to bring in the 80 line, but that line is not flaired and on closer inspection I don't think it has the same bends, but better than the other line I have that everyone else shows for the 77
