I had a divorced setup like that on my nova wagon. I took it all apart, and cleaned / re-greased it. Just tightening up some things and cutting some new home-made gaskets will make a difference. Mine leaked real bad where the rubber pitman arm gasket clamps over the control valve. I just scrubbed the grime off and tightened it up almost eliminate that problem.

You could have any impliment dealer make new hoses for you. There are kits available for rebuilding these. I think they are around $100. Check with Classic Industries.

Taking the control valve apart will change your centering. Be real careful the first time you drive it after re-installing. It has enough force to break your arm if you are not close to center. I drove mine a block, adjusted, drove a block adjusted... etc. I strongly recomend you find a manual for assembly. Ignore the centering directions and just drive to find center.
