Damn, its been a long time since I posted on here!

This quarantine has allowed me a little bit of time to get some overdue work on my Cobra. I noticed I was leaking power steering fluid, so I ordered a new pump and both lines... Replaced the pump, but the lines looked in... well, decent condition for 25 years old. (the line to the hydroboost got replaced a few years ago). I put some fluid in, and it was still leaking but from this line (tried to take a decent picture with an arrow pointing to the trouble spot), but I don't know what its called. I'm assuming this goes to the steering rack, but I'm not sure. My skills are limited to being strictly self taught, so I apologize for my lack of knowledge.

I was speaking to a co-worker and he said the line could probably be spliced, I would just need to get the correct line. He said hes got flaring tools and such, so at least I'm good on that front. I just want to order the correct stuff for once. Thanks everyone!

I'm going to be selling my entire powersteering setup on my car shortly.
Can you take it off? Take a pick after, I may have a nice used one.

Thanks guys!

Ok, it seems I may have a rack and pinion change in my future! What kind of a set ups do you guys have? And I'd obviously have to have it shipped. I'm located in NJ. (if you need to, feel free to PM me)

From what I understand, anything is an improvement over the stock rack from my year. I've been looking at rebuilt ones, but its a challenge to get any information of what internals are used. I'm assuming most rebuilts are the cheapest things they can find.
