Some additional feedback here:
1. Power steering pressure line: for 79 (mine) and earlier, the Edelmann
#91473 fits perfectly.
2. Power steering return hose does not fit, independently of the seller
(Omix, Crown, Edelmann), because the metal line is too short, so it will be rubbing on the radiator. So I used the hose of the Edelmann return line
and clamped it with the correct clamps to the old factory metal line.
Additional advantage: you do not have to remove it from the steering box.
3. Metal fuel lines from Classic Tube: they are not a 100% fit, sligthly different
bent than the factory line. Can be made fit, but I hate it, it is not so hard
to manufacture a correct thing.
I was able to reuse the old one.
4. Clamping all fuel lines:I used those, with the right tools perfect!
This I also used for the power steering return line (as factory did).
5. Removing the fuel pump (most efficient in my point of view):
First remove the air pump seperately, 2 screws and and hose...
Second cut the power steering hoses.
Third remove power steering pump (2 nuts in the back and front bracket).
6. Be careful, the FSM says 43 lbs for the bracket screw and 31 for the
adapter screw. Bracket screw is where it is mounted to the engine block,
adapter screw is holding the two parts of the bracket together, a bit
misleading in the manual...
Nevertheless finished now...
