hello people: My repaired high pressure PS line did not work and I'm back to fluid all over again. This is starting to really bother me.

Why did you repair it? Why not replace it with a new one? Year, model, engine, etc. ??? I can't remember everyone's rides.

86 T-type was it? (sifted through some older posts)

Probably GM p/n 7849858 for the turbo 3.8. Discontinued, hard to find. However, Gates has a 361340 that's the aftermarket replacement.

Amazon.com

Rockauto sells the same thing for half the price. But there's shipping so...

Find some cheerleaders holding a fundraiser, pop the hood and hand them a bottle of dawn out the window.

Done.

hello: I wish it was that easy. The HB is not stock and the kit I bought the vender said that it was made for there kit. It's custom and that's why I tried to fix it. I might just get a rubber hose made up without the bent tubes. I'm getting sick of this crap... Buicks came stock with a HB in 84-85 so maybe that would work. Thanks for looking.

Vendor not willing to sell a replacement or just not at a reasonable price?

It's getting harder with mom and pops going out of business, but, I know in some smaller towns around there are still businesses that all they do is make hoses to order. Sometimes they need the old one and make or reuse some metal ends off what you give them with measurements, but, you know it's done right and they guarantee it to hold the various pressures and heats you tell them it needs spec'd to.

hello: Vendor does not make the hose. He gathers the parts to make the kit. He's telling me that the hose maker needs a quantity to make em not just one. He did say he'll jet me know. So I'm on hold with him.

Why not try a local hydraulic hose place and see if they can make you one.
