Hello, I am installing the short power steering hoses between the control valve and power cylinder on my 66 v8 coupe, but I don't know which one goes where. I removed the old ones several years ago to rebuild the power cylinder and I am finally trying to finish up the restoration. The car does not run yet so I can't just install them, start the engine and see if the steering wheel rotates from lock to lock to tell if me that I installed the two hoses incorrectly.
Does anyone have any pics or a clear diagram. I have 2 Mustang restoration handbooks, but the pictures are way to small to see any detail. Maybe someone can tell me if the top hole goes to the top hole or if the two hoses criss-cross.

Thank You,
Carl

Well they shouldn't cross. On my 65 it was top to top and bottom to bottom.
