Same problem with my 68. First thing I ever did was put all the power steering components back on after the previous owner had taken them all off and threw them away. Never could find hoses the right length. Also, the original bracket would not fit back on so I had to make one similar to the original to work. I ended up looping the hose into a circle and down to the control valve. The other hose was too long also and I have the excess under the engine (for now). Doesn't look that bad, isn't visible, and isn't touching anything that'll burn it in two. I haven't driven it or tested the setup since I just recently finished restoring it. "Hopefully," I won't have any problems. If you ever find correct length hoses, definitely let me know the source.
