foxbody power steering hose differences

[Mach1]

What is the deal with all of the fox PS hoses, they have a 87-89, 90, and 91-93. I just ordered a 90 no a/c hose for my car, it's using a sn95 pump and rack with the P/S relocated FRPP bracket. Anyone know the differences in the hoses?

No, but I can send pics of my 90 w/ac's hoses if you want.

The Lincoln pump was the same hose as our 89 rack, and then the 93 quick steer. Don't know if that helps.

It should be the same hose regardless.

I think the fitting is different at the pump on some depending on the regulator on them? I vaguely remember running into a difference at some point

It was on my SVO, but I just took off the fitting and the new hose worked fine. It was different on the rack side though.

I ran across info on this while adapting a 90+ pump to an early Ford.

IIRC, 87-89 are an O-ring type. Redesigned in 90 with a SAE thread flare fitting. 91 plus was another redesign and was changed to a Metric flare type fitting.

Be careful, the 90/91+ fittings will thread into each other but will leak.

If it comes down to it, you can swap out the fitting in the pump housing.

Damn, guess I will have to see what happens with the hose I receive. Thanks for the info!
