68 Cuda BB power steering.

Finally changed from manual to power steering gear In my 68 Barracuda, I was told I needed a BB k frame, well the ps gear just fits with minimal clearance, anybody have a picture of the correct ps hose fitting on the gear, also any other pics of the ps system on a BB Barracuda would be appreciated, what is the correct crank pulley for this also. Thanks for any help.

When was your car built? Later 1968 big block k-frames were power steering ready. You need a 90 degree adapter and the correct hose which is not available, you will basically need to have one made. The correct crank pulley has a smaller pulley on the inside and larger on the outside that almost hits the water pump pulley. I can post pictures later of what they look like.

I have no affiliation with Peter Bergman other than an online friendship. Good guy. You might want to checking with him / them at Home - Bergman Auto Craft - Home of Quality Muscle Car Parts. BAC Steering Box Upgrade Master Kit - Bergman Auto Craft It looks like they have a full kit and maybe they would be able to sell just the custom high pressure line.

It was built 8/18 in 67, I do have the adapter, and the crank pulley you described is one I have, it’s just chrome. I have headers also so will have to test fit, guess I just need high pressure hose and a belt. Great pic, Thanks for the help. Dave
