Quick question - does the pressure line connection on a stock steering box get an O ring?

I think there is 2 types of fittings in different steering boxes , some have a 45* flare on the end of the tube , no O ring , others have a tee shaped flare with as shoulder on the tube end & an O ring seal sits against the bubble near the end of the tube

No o ring for that, it is a flared fitting

My 1970 has a flared fitting connection, no o-ring.

Flare fitting does not require an o-ring. :alan2cents:
