You should just be able to pull it back away from the header and hold it in place with a plastic zip tie or somethingThanks, follow up question if you don't mind. Can I see a better picture of your power steering hose? reason is that my old one was leaking so I ordered a new one. It fits but is routed really close to the header which has me thinking that is going to melt it. The one that was there was routed up and around.
I did something like that and wrap it in heat wrap. Just cause I could not find anything remotely close to the hose it came with. I guess we'll see long term. I just building it as a weekend cruiser so should be fine I guess. Thank you for your response.You should just be able to pull it back away from the header and hold it in place with a plastic zip tie or something
If it's a fitted hose that goes especially for the power steering pump, I've cut off the hose behind the metal part and added a longer piece of like fuel line hose and a clamp or two to make it longer so you can move it farther away from the header.I did something like that and wrap it in heat wrap.

Ripped it off a log time ago. Emissions on a 1960's vehicle? Heh. That's a good one. Also most of the system in my car was destroyed by time and the fact the engine was swapped out way before my time with a 460.No need to junk it. Inside the cap is a metal gauze that can be cleaned by running solvent through it.
The cap elbow connects, through a rubber hose, to the air filter housing to provide fresh air into the engine crank case.
On the other side of the motor, this air is drawn out through the PCV valve and into the intake manifold.
It is part of the emissions system that burns blow-by gasses instead of releasing them directly into the atmosphere.
