84 4KQ power steering hose

[Jim Dupree]

The hose you describe is the supply hose from the
reservoir to the pump, it is not a pressure hose. It
has a crimped fitting from the factory but you can
carefully cut the old crimp off and you can buy bulk
hose and use a standard hose clamp. I've done several
of them. Someone included a link to an online supplier
but it was for a pressure hose. Make sure you are
ordering the hose you need.
Good Luck
Jim
