Re: [Chrysler300] P/S Hose





The ‘59-‘66 P/S aftermarket pressure hoses (available at Rock Auto, NAPA, your favorite auto parts store) are designed for the single 4bbl wedge engines.  They will work on a ram car but like Dave says on some they fit like crap (especially on Dave’s F ‘cause I have seen it!).  They will fit OK on a J/Ram K but cannot be routed as the factory originals were.    They will not fit on a ‘57 392 (at least in my experience) with the supplied fittings without interference with the battery/battery tray.

One mistake that's easy to make (and I have personal experience) is that all is quiet and peaceful under the hood when you are working out the routing for the hose, but that changes when you fire it up. My car is a C, but the challenge may be similar on your later Letter Cars. I didn't count on the torquing and vibration of the engine - and consequently the PS hose - when I ran the engine. The hose was pressing ever so slightly up against the edge of the battery tray, and the tray had no problem at all cutting through the hose before I had 100 miles on it. SSPPPTTTT !!! all over everything!

My hose works OK also, but it fits like crap.

That’s what I was afraid of.

Of all the hoses for 1960 w/Chrysler part #’s, none cross over to NAPA #’s in my ’85 NAPA/Chrysler master interchange book.

I have purchased a few from Rock Auto. They aren't restoration replicas, but for a driver, they work fine.
