Is this hose the pressure hose or the return hose and does it connect to the bottom of the pump?
I know the fittings are different just making sure. The shop manual calls this hose the pressure hose while three vendors call it the return hose. :-\

Thanks Jose,
                    McVeys has this listed correctly and it has the coupler I wanted the coupler for Judging purposes. I bought one but McVeys does not have the return hose. So I bought a return hose from another vendor and it came with the fittings the same as McVeys but without the coupler. I talked with them and they have the return hose but they call it the pressure hose but the fitting that go s on the steering box is at a 45 degree not a 90. Then I went to another vendor and they had a picture of the hose and the fitting was at a 90 but they to call it the pressure hose. One other vendor did not have a picture so I called and he could not tell me how there fittings look. Prices range from $70.00 with the 45 degree $80.00 but they can’t tell me the fittings to $130.00 with the correct fittings but they all call them the pressure lines. :P

Other then McVeys the other vendors offer both return and pressure lines. I suppose most people order both hoses at one time so then it doesn’t matter because the fittings dictate where they go.
