So, I put a 455 ci engine in the '66 skylark. I got a new Saginaw style pump to go with the new engine, but the high pressure line is way too long. What do most people use? The pump has a 5/8" inverted flare fitting. Can I just get a hose from a '72 Lesabre or something else that had a 455 engine?
I made a hydraulic hose using Parker 20 series field connections. a little pricey but all you need is a wrench to assemble it.
I used this................https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=983499&cc=1434252&jsn=399&jsn=399 It was a perfect match to the original hose. Do you have any pics of the hose you're using as installed?
I used the stock hose that yes is pretty long and just dealt with it. Always been on my list of things to do to get a shorter one made for it.
